After a lot of back and forwards telephone calls to virgin media I finally got a deal I wanted its still on unlimited oomph and the sky movies uhd and the new 360 box conversion , the 360 software is £24.99 but got it free , the new remotes come on Wednesday I then have to ring Virgin Media set up for the 360 and on that day the uhd movies start all for £106 a month only a £1 more than I'm paying atm without those 2 items it was £100 a month , will see on Wednesday if its worth shouting about

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

£24.99 for a software update pure greed from VM, glad you got it for free though, disgusting charging someone for a software update.
£106p/m you've been had mate.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

I got it for £96

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

That's much better, it's prob just me lol but i refuse to pay more than £70p/m for tv and broadband i just don't think tv is worth the cost it's just constant repeats and reality crap.

any idea then we're getting the tivo 360 software for the tivo v6? Is the tivo 360 still not as good as the v6? Its missing a ton of apps?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

I really like 360 and even my wife prefers it to the TiVo software
All4 is missing but a lot of the content is available via on demand anyway.

My5 has just arrived recently

If you have 2 boxes with harddrive it works a lot better than the TiVo system (subject to a strong connection)

HD channels are swapped out if your package has them in it and the SD channel removed so the EPG is less cluttered with duplicates.

Yes there are a few features that TiVo has that 360 doesn’t but it’s a lot more slick and smoother.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

You can ask for it anytime. TiVo here for a while yet.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

Iam getting the v6 360 software today and just waiting for the postman to deliver the remotes then I can call Virgin Media to get the software downloaded to my v6 box

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

I wil wait it out don't see for me any advantage. force too will be the only way I can see me changing. More likely to move to freeview with now and Netflix.!!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

You dont phone them, it will be in your app section of your V6

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

First update , there's a link in the menu on the v6 box when you click upgrade it does it my v6 box Failed the update whether virgin media know I was trying to update as 2 mins later it updated again and rebooted . NOW THIS IS A WARNING I WAS TOLD ALL MY RECORDINGS AND SERIES LINK ARE SAFE ITS NOT EVERYTHING WAS DELETED IF I KNEW I WOULD HAVE SCREEN SHOT ALL THE SERIES LINK YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WARNED I'M MAD AS HELL ..

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

There is a warning on the app before you trigger the upgrade that says that recordings and series links will be deleted. I'm pretty sure it's also in the instructions that come with remotes too:

https://www.virginmedia.com/help/vir...box-to-360-box

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
 

I was notified of this on numerous occasions throughout the process

As part of the sign up for 360 online

With the remote controls in the box

Even during the process there was a warning that ALL recordings and settings would be deleted, it gave an option to cancel at that point.

Someone has clearly given you the wrong info.
