There is nice long queue for that so you might have to wait a while before its your turn.

How about you give us proof of your constant dismissals?

l am not dismissing anything as this is a forum for members to air their opinions and as of yet l am still waiting for confirmation that any of this is actually going to be happening but l am open to pleasant surprises if they do arrive.

Having had one for a couple of weeks now, it is damn quick and as for looks...it's a box and as mine is behind the TV on the floor, you can't actually see it, so not that bothered what it looks like.

As I say agreed regards speed , as you say looks is not an issue for those who have it where it can't be seen but these days many people do factor how something looks in hence why the likes of Apple , Samsung etc spend so much money on design.

The V6 bix is small, quick and unobtrusive - what is there not to like.
It doesn't have lights that go round when you play a recording (unlike sky box) but personally I don't watch those lights I'm watching my tv.
Had the V6 boxes since Feb and very impressed overall

For the record I hate the light myself , the only consolation is since the last update it's not quite as bright.
Clearly looks will always be subjective , I'm not on my own in this though many of the reviews say similar. If the worst I can find is the looks then clearly I agree with most of what you say.

It is a bit of an ugly beast but I agree that the functionality is what is most important.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
So the topic is coming soon to Virgin Media. So what is coming to VM?
I really don't think this is the thread for the various virtues or defects of
the V6. Plenty of V6 threads for that.

I'm not sue, but this must be the way to go. It can only bolster VM's income streams.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
In an earlier post I was concerned that Talking Pictures might close if they lost their temporary Freeview slot.
Some good news, from 30/11/17 they will be moving to a permanent Freeview mux and will be available to more people

That's always been the case for Virgin Media Store. You don't need to be a customer to use the website or mobile apps.
However the only TV app for Virgin Media Store is on a Virgin TV V6 box
