l upgraded and l regret it.
Much prefer the V6 with Wish lists, Series links you can see, the EPG is too small, more memory.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
I like the 360. Much more modern interface but a different experience from TiVo.

Forget thinking about it as an upgrade. It is a completely different firmware platform, so its more a migration. More like changing from Windows to Linux or Andriod to iOS. They all have their Pros & Cons.

I know you get more APPS and FAST Channels with TV360 (I don't give a F about them)
I will wait until my V6 dies on me.

The extra FAST channels on the 360 are just the Pluto direct access channels. They are available on the V6 from the Pluto app, which seems a better way of accessing them. There are more FAST channels on Pluto than the few that Virgin puts on the 360 EPG. Use the app. why limit your choice?

Is it a real choice. The wife watches a few programmes via Pluto and complains bitterly that watching consecutive programmes is like being in the Tardis, back a couple of series, forward a series. No continuity at all.

They seem to be in random order by design.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
Yes , they are channel specific like Sky Q , TV360 doesn't have a series link manager in the same way as TiVo-software V6 does.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
The TiVo remote has buttons that allow you to easily skip forward or back when watching recordings, catch up or on demand content, which we find really helpful, especially for advert breaks.
I think 360 allows skipping too, but is this only through voice commands?

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
I can fast forward through most things on the 360 that I've recorded. Much of the on demand stops you fast forwarding through adverts

Still such a crazy omission... Along with no 'Recover deleted shows' option.

The sky on-demand is easy to FF through on the 360 . Normal FF on recordings is very easy either voice control or the right hand button on the circle. Better than V6 in that respect
