The legacy Arris manufactured V6 boxes can run both TiVO & Horizon firmware (if you are lucky, as some fail to cope with the firmware migration).

The newer Humax manufactured boxes will only run Horizon firmware.

Therefore most Arris boxes are now reserved as V6 TiVO fault replacements, & anyone already on V360 gets a Humax if the box fails.

i'm still confused how long we can keep the tivo v6 boxes. in a way i just want them to go "look youve taken too long we're forcing you on the new software and you can keep all 3 of your boxes"

They'd have to give you plenty notice, losing access to their existing recordings, especially is they have a lot of them, would annoy a lot of people. Most of the ones on our V6 aren't on On-Demand so it isn't a case of replacing them with that. And the Series Links are extensive, not a "scribble down in a notepad" exercise.

Any idea if CNN will come back then MB? NBC News Now was launched due to CNN closing?

No idea but:

Warner Bros Discovery and Paramount in merger talks

The owners of QUEST may end up also owning Channel 5

Noticed Virgin have added True Detective seasons 1-3 to On Demand, branded as 'Sky Showcase' , advertised on the home page, True Detective: Night Country is airing on Sky Showcase from 15th according to advert.

I wonder what deal Virgin have agreed with Sky , isn't Virgin wider deal with Sky due for renewal by the summer of 2024....

Yes, and True Detective was first shown on Sky Atlantic. I can certainly vouch for the first series - I never did get around to viewing the second. I will add that to my watchlist! Thanks, TimeLord.

14th Media Boy... surprised I even managed that, life has changed so much I haven't had time for lots of things I used to.

Hope everyone is well.

With Sky adding True Detective to Sky Showcase is a funny one.

I mean Sky Showcase is like a "best of" channel.

I would have think If True Detective is moving from Sky Atlantic it would appear on Sky Witness.
