Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

Is that not true via smart TV.s ? Fast forward on v6 is one thing that is better than I have found anywhere :erm:

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

I understand that you have to go premium itvx to get FF. Maxit customers had this feature free. To be fair there's little we watch on it anyway lol

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

It was a nice bonus while it lasted, but is one of the many reasons why "record record record" is the way to go whenever possible.

Keeping to the thread topic though, converting to TV360 shouldn't normally need a re-contract period. Many sales agents will encourage the migration at the same time as re-contracting, but it remains a separate transaction to any package alteration.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

Fun fact: when the subscription pack code that eventually became Mega was being set up in the background, it included the "ITV Tier" service which allowed FF through adverts on ITVX. The Mega pack code was removed from "ITV Tier" on 30/08/2023, the day before the new bundles were officially launched. Presumably, for Virgin TV, Mega means less.

No, it’s definitely an upgrade. What many cannot seem to accept on here is that different boxes have different features and that new technology simply means you do things differently.

A common complaint is that the 360 does not have an undelete facility, but I have to question how important that really is now. I think this feature is only available on boxes using TiVo technology - as far as I know, it doesn’t appear on any other boxes.

But how important is the undelete feature nowadays anyway? On the rare occasions when I have accidentally deleted something, I have resurrected the programme through the ‘add to watchlist’ feature, which draws programmes from the on demand system. Pretty well everything is on there now if it was previously shown on live TV.

A lot of the early problems with the 360 have been resolved now, and it’s pretty decent, in my view. I particularly like the profiles feature. I have a shared profile for all the programmes my wife and I watch together, as well as a separate one just for me and another for my wife. It makes things much easier for us both, in that we no longer have to flog through a huge long list when selecting our programmes.

It is true that you have to select Netflix programmes by going into the app itself rather than by linking them into your bookmarked programmes on the 360, but that was a Netflix decision, and unless they change their minds about that, all new boxes will be similarly restricted.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

Actually it doesn't mean people have to do things differently at all, they have a choice, which may not be the same as yours.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

I would call it a sideways move . Always go to Netflix via app . Never used the v6 listing

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

They do have the choice for now. When the channels go IPTV only, that will change.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

What year are we onto now?

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

Yes, then everyone will need Stream or a similar device. Still some years off everyone being moved over to XGS-PON though.

Don't even ask, he'll change his predicted date quite a few times before then. :D

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

Sky boxes have had it for as long as I can remember.
That said, I tend to agree its usefullness is questionable, Ive never used it.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

Whenever they turn off the transmitters for TV. Curiously, they are saying that the date for this will be 2035.

Nah, still the same.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

Who are they and can you post a reputable source for such a claim?

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

Netflix search isn't integrated into the 360 search. Instead there is a Netflix text search when selecting the search icon from the Home screen and then select Netflix from the "All" dropdown option on the right. It only shows Netflix items and immediately launches the Netflix app when selecting a result.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 

I complained about the 360 and how bad it was and they brought me 2 new TiVo V6 to replace the ones I'd upgraded
