Been getting that quite a bit recently too - your box is out of date - to go with regular emails and now text messages.

To be honest I知 not fussed either way but other half has said she will kill me if her Randall and Hopkirk deceased recordings disappear. So for a quiet life I値l stick with what we致e got for now! 😂

Its looking like they won't force this 'upgrade' without the customers agreement. Hence all the messages/propaganda. Forcibly deleting recordings won't go down well with paying customers, and could cause a nasty backlash. However if they say you 'volunteered' for it, and were made aware, then you've got no comeback.

I知 not sure how many series of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) there were, but 26 episodes of series 1 appears on ITVX.

If they decide to de-commission the TiVo boxes, then they will do so regardless. You lose your recordings whenever you change service provider. The good thing is, you can watch on demand. No need for recordings any more.

Thats all of the original show, there was one season of 26 episodes (also available on BluRay).

Not everything can be streamed OB. Even if is, it'll be full of ads that you can't fast forward through. Recordings win everytime for the viewer.

Unless you get the premium version! I don’t even have to fast forward through them as they are not there in the first place.

I haven’t yet found a programme I want to see that cannot be accessed on demand. But then again, I don’t watch the shopping channels and the like.

I'm an analogue in a digital world, but I am happy with my V6 and the services I can get. Yet VM want me to swap to the new 360, I think I will leave it until I have no choice.

Yep that’s the lot! Thanks for the info��. Food for thought as apart from that we’ve next to nothing in our recordings.

Maybe an after Christmas decision……..

Those messages can be deleted by following Home > Help & Settings > Messages, you shouldn't reminders after deleting.

The rest of your symptoms sound like a faulty box to me.

In answer to the recording query, any TV360-master box can record - and you can select which masterbox (converted V6) used for individual recordings in the advanced settings.

TV360 will always pool both sets of recordings into one view, though - that's how the system is designed.

Now where does the Stream box source actually stream from, as i get the same picture break up at the same time from both a Stream box and a V360? Unless there is an issue at source.

Dolby 5.1 is now in sync on the Stream too, unlike the 360.

What equipment have you got connected to the 360, and how it is all connected?

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 
ITV 2 is breaking up on both boxes.

It also sounds to me like Channel 5 HD tonight is showing Pirates Of The Caribbean in Dolby 5.1 on Stream, as opposed to the 360 box.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 
Have they fixed it today, as Kojak on ITV 4 yesterday was constantly breaking up.

ITV 2/3/4 just checking now and there is no sign of picture break up.

Fingers crossed.

Aha, no it hasn’t, but ITV 4 is miles better at the moment checking Hot Fuzz.
