The Stream and TV360 boxes have been updated to Build Version 5.24 (my boxes skipped version 5.23) The update versions are rolled out in phases so some areas will be later adapting the changes.

The top menu navigation bar has been updated with a new font which is slightly smaller in size. The navigation menu is now left aligned, and the contrast has been increased, making the text bolder and easier to read.

The navigation menu and sub menus have also been slightly adjusted.

In menus like Settings, Apps, and Movies etc, the sub page no longer opens immediately when you navigate to it. Now the text turns white to highlight that main navigational menu, and you have to press Enter to access/open the the sub menus. The corresponding sub menu options individually turn white when selected.

The audio description icon has been updated. If you have AD turned on via Settings > Accessibility > Audio description, then the higher contrast makes AD programs easier to see in the EPG.

The following FAST channels have changed:-
225 (5 Cops HD) has moved to 277.
226 (Catfish HD) has moved to 278.
232 (World War TV) has been added
245 (Love Pets HD) has been replaced by Nature Time
246 (CSI Crime Scene Investigation HD) has moved to 279.
251 (Tipping Point HD) and 252 (Mythbusters HD) have exchanged places

Just got 5.24 over the last two days. Great simple improvements on the menus. Of course they don't tell us what improvements have been done as usual.

Yes, I'd like to know the answer to this too. It's one of the very few areas of frustration with TiVo on a V6 - lack of a dynamic EPG.

In addition, is there yet the facility in 360 to recover deleted recordings?

It isn't dynamic during normal working hours, updates every 2 hours vs 6 hours on V6

You can protect specific shows from being deleted

Yes, and if it has been deleted beyond retrieval, it’s normally available on demand.

Often not, especially with Sky channel content, where only the most recent two or three series are available on demand e.g. Chicago Fire etc.

How long do you really want to keep a recording for? V6, 360, sky q are time shift devices, not long term storage devices. So the last two or three seasons would be adequate.

I really don't want to search for a show that may or not be starting in the near future. So much easier for the box to record it as and when it comes up:dozey:

I know someone who was caring for a sick relative during their final years. They didn't have time to keep up with their TV viewing schedule. After their relative passed, they began catching up on what they had missed during that sad period. You seem to be saying let them miss out.. who cares. You don't know other people's circumstances and it isn't your decision to make on their behalf.

You can't put words into my mouth. I was stating facts about what those boxes are essentially designed for.

I do know that if my late father was still around he'd be very unhappy losing recordings with the demise of Eurosport as we had recorded loads of snooker tournaments ((50% or more) but stuff happens.

Huh? I didn't put any words in your mouth. You were happy to reach a conclusion that the last two or three seasons would be adequate, without considering an individual's circumstances. Which I guess you have confirmed with the "stuff happens" response.

Sky Media (the advertising arm of Sky) has put this out today:

Sky Atlantic soon to be available in Virgin Media homes
​​​​
From 1 April, Sky Atlantic arrives in Virgin Media homes, reaching 3 million more customers and expanding access to one of TV’s most talked‑about channels. Included at no extra cost for Sky Entertainment subscribers, the launch brings premium drama to more screens. For brands, it’s a powerful opportunity to align with must‑watch content at greater scale.

The mention of '3 million more customers' pretty much confirms that Virgin Media still has more than 3 million TV customers, not that all of them will actually have access to Sky Atlantic!

I received that email, the Sky Atlantic blurb is pictured below.
The associated Find Out More link in the email opens up the https://www.virginmedia.com/tv/sky-atlantic page.
