Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

If you have one of the older TiVo boxes it will be swapped out for a TV360 box. This could either be a refurbished box or a completely new one, you have no choice, it's basically a matter of what's actually available.

If you have a V6 box currently running TiVo it will receive an over the air update to TV360 and you'll receive a 360 remote control. If the update fails and can't be completed despite new signals being sent and/or a tech visit then it will be replaced with another 360 box - this might be new or refurbished, again it depends what's available.


As I mentioned in my last post before this one (#297) I updated two TiVo V6 boxes to run as TV360's when the Horizon software interface was first introduced in the UK in November 2020. They were actually the older Arris boxes which I received in December 2016.

One of these boxes is still working without any problems. The other was replaced two years ago when the power supply died (there were no issues with the actual box).

By way of comparison, the Sky Q box was introduced in March 2016 and those boxes are still running equally as well today as VM's original V6 boxes.

The majority of problems are either with the conversion process either not completing, or problems with the hard drive. I would say Sky Q has just as many problems with the hard drive.

There are sometimes problems with the boxes not updating/synchronising fully with VM's back end systems. This can happen with either the newer or older Arris boxes and the Humax boxes.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Virgin Media should update their website with more accurate information about the TV channels now included in their packages.

'Included TV channels' in the Entertainment bundle are listed as:

https://www.virginmedia.com/tv

At a glance, I can see various chanels that no longest exist (Sky Replay, TCM HD, TCM +1, The Box, 4 Music, Kiss, Magic, Kerrang, HGTV, HGTV +1) and others that have rebranded (Sky Max > Sky One, Pick > Sky Mix).

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Could be a useful way for people who want to cancel, but are outside the cooling off period.

I know someone who successfully managed to leave after he got Virgin for Disney for his kids after the channels were removed from Sky. Virgin were still advertising that they had them, despite them having been removed from Virgin at the same time as Sky.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

depends on the engineer. mine got really impatient at how long it was taking to install the 360 software so just went off to his van and got 3 brand new boxes out haha

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Removed already from the channel guide
https://a.storyblok.com/f/253875/x/b..._feb_26_v6.pdf

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

My 360 has it showing to at least March 8.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Listings have been updated, last minute reprieve ?

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

People who convert from V6 > TV360 and who don't have any problems, tend not to post on forums to say so.

It's the nature of fora that they tend to attract users with issues and regulars with an interest.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Understandable, as I can see no reason to change, I'll stick to my mandra if it ain't broke don't fix it :D

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

I have two V6s, and the 360 software installed just fine.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Apparently the majority of VM TV customers are still with V6 with TiVo.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

its frustrating once people get off the v6 vm will save money on the tivo license. could get some more benefits then. frustrating people refuse to accept change

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Why should they ?

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Because VMO2 care so much about their customers they will pass on any savings to them? Unlikely. It would probably go straight to their shareholders.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

same here

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

If they wanted to they could send everyone a new controller and say that as .....of you will be switched .:erm:

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

The problem is that 360 is substantially different ( worse imho), and wipes all recordings. So they need 'customer buy in' before proceeding otherwise a lot of unhappy punters. If they've agreed to it then they've no comeback. Hence all the constant misleading 'upgrade' coms , and blackmail about missing channels/apps. It's 'entrapment', will you fall for it ? ;)

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

NO, when it happens it happens :erm:

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

If it works why fix it.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

I think that most people don’t worry about changing their services, boxes or appliances until they break down.

---------- Post added at 19:10 ---------- Previous post was at 18:55 ----------

Whatever new box you transfer to, you will lose your recordings, but you can still see them on demand. That’s what I did when I downloaded my 360 software.

The 360 has advantages that the TiVo doesn’t have, and the TiVo has some that the 360 doesn’t. But for most of us, the disadvantages are not significant at all.

Of course it’s an upgrade. You get the benefit of the things that are genuinely useful and that most people expect or want from modern boxes these days on the 360 (such as voice control and profiles) that are not on TiVo, and the features people used to moan about, such as the lack of a ‘suggestions’ folder have been rectified.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Wow, you have made a statement I agree with. :D

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Change isn’t always better and everyone feels differently about it. That goes for everything in life, not just tech.

---------- Post added at 22:29 ---------- Previous post was at 22:27 ----------

You’ve spoken to most of VM’s TV customers have you OB?

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

How does it's version of suggestions work? This is one improvement, but the main issues of not being able to record radio (wouldn't be too difficult to add them to the EPG) and the loss of QuickView (don't think this can be TiVo patented as other services have this) are my main gripes about it.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Quickview is TiVo patent

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

The radio stations could easily be added to the EPG, in the same manner as the FAST channels, however you still wouldn't be able to record them as they are streamed.

VM's TV360 and Stream boxes run on the Horizon firmware which was developed by Virgin's parent company Liberty Global for their other European cable operations which ceased carrying radio in a linear format with the onset of the digital switchover almost two decades ago.

The Netherlands (Ziggo) became the first country to switch off its analogue terrestrial television network and completed the digital switchover on 11th December 2006.

The radio stations are streamed via the BBC Sounds app and also via the Radioline app - which are also available on the V6 boxes.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

BT/EE allow streamed TV channels to be recorded, so I don't understand why the same can't be done for radio??

---------- Post added at 03:19 ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 ----------

In that case they could just call it something else (other sites use something similar) as they have done to get Suggestions back.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

BT/EE use IP Multicast streaming so there appears to be no delay in the tv services when compared to other platforms. So you can't compare it with other streaming platforms.

Quite a lot of the Freeview channels are NOT even carried on the BE/EE streaming service. On their box you can choose Freeview or BT/EE - but not both!

Platforms can't add radio channels to their EPG without the consent of the service - and BBC have been titening up of their services and forcing people to use BBC Sounds.

EE/BT has BBC radio in their EPG but when you select them they load BBC Sounds.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Have you? The advantages of having the TiVo compared with the 360 are related to functions that most people don’t use anyway, such as series links and wishlists. Do you really think that the average punter cares at all about those functions?

Most people just want to watch TV.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

No I haven’t and neither have you, so neither of us can make definitive statements, only guesses based on our separate anecdotal experience.

What is an “advantage” to one person isn’t necessarily perceived as an advantage by others, so this is still simply opinion. Every person in the world is an individual, with a unique mix of opinions on everything.

Series Link is a core feature on most recordable TV boxes so would imagine that most who use the recording facilities would care about it. However since I haven’t talked to the majority of TV Customers I cannot say either what function the average punter uses, or thinks is an “advantage”, only speculate.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Still no series link page on the 360 then?

Wow

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Series Link manager ? NO

You edit series links directly within the recordings folder

TV 360 is a Sky Q Equivalent rather than TiVo

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

The series recording functionality on the 360 is perfectly acceptable.

Choose the show you want to record. Press the record button. A record pop-up appears. You’ll be asked whether you want to record the series or individual episode. Press OK.

You can customise the buffer time either side of the recording. You can easily view upcoming recordings and you can browse existing recordings.

If the box records the same episode more than once (which it sometimes does) you just delete it. Really not a major issue.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Isn't just the TiVo license

They started to save money when TNT Sports wholesale deal ended and less less subscribers had it included, full cost was at least £120m per year

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Thanks SonicMaster :tu:

Random question, can you set series links up for shows that are not in the guide at the moment?

Just thinking about ways of manually transfering all series links over from TiVo to 360 without having to remember to set it when the show is back on.

I'm sure someone once told me no when I asked before, hopefully this has changed

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

No it hasn't changed. Just take photos of the ones you have and add them as they appear on the 360. Same as if you moved to Sky or BT etc

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

You can series link any programme, and all the series links on programmes you have recorded are shown in your recordings. Why would you want to gawp at the series links of programmes you have already watched but not deleted?

It’s a genuine question - I don’t know why anyone would want to do that.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Eg You set up a series link for when series one was shown and are waiting for series two to come along.
IIRC TV360 series link only works for the next 2 weeks and for things that are in the EPG, so if there is a break as with US TV series and their mid- season breaks, the link is lost.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

This isn't correct, it doesn't just show when there is no upcoming recordings in the next 2 weeks.

Series link is still active

You would however have set up a new series link if something moves channel , which only seem to happen with BBC or Sky.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Not true at all. 360 will pick up a series link after any length of time on the same channel. You just don't a a visual list but then again why would you need it?

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Perhaps I've misunderstood somebody's comment about TV360 and series links.
I gave a reason why somebody might want to set up a series link for a series that isn't currently showing.
So can you set up a series link on TV360 for something that isn't currently showing and in the EPG? That was the original question. It was about moving from V6/TiVo to V6/TV360.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

You can't set up a series link on the TV360 if the program isn't currently showing in the EPG. However once a program appears in the EPG then you can set up a series link and it will be remembered going forward so you don't have to set it up again when the current series finishes. Although it isn't currently showing I have Doctor Who set up to record future series since I added it when it first appeared in the EPG.

There are some exceptions, such as if a program moves to a different channel then it will need setting up again on that channel, or if the "series" has different naming suffixes such as the various iterations of the Walking Dead.

You are given choices when setting up a series link. For example you can also set up a series link to just record the current season, or the current season and all future seasons, or just new episodes only..

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

yeah but your box could break at any point.

Plus most things recorded on a v6 box will at some point be on tv again. i dont see why people are so protective over their old recordings?

I always watch a recording and then delete it??

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Good idea, but the limitation is that you won't necessarily know when a new series has started in order to set a series link.

---------- Post added at 01:02 ---------- Previous post was at 00:59 ----------

The V6 screen for the list of series links also serves to prioritise them in case of recording clashes. How does the 360 deal with this?

Also, how has the 360 effectively reintroduced the TiVo 'suggestions' facility?

---------- Post added at 01:06 ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 ----------

In the not too distant future it won't matter as there won't be a V6 or a 360, Virgin will be reallocating their cable TV capacity to broadband and everyone will be expected to be happy with a non recordable streaming box.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

I think you are confusing things somewhat. If you have a series link on the TiVo, you’ll lose it when you change boxes or convert to 360 software. You cannot avoid that.

But your other question was whether you can set up a series link if the series isn’t scheduled, and the answer to that is no. If you are changing boxes or your software to the 360, the recordings you had that are no longer on the EPG will still be available on demand as long as they are not too old. When I changed over, I captured all my unwatched recordings that way.

Finally, I agree with those who have commented on the series links that once you have created one, it stays on there for that channel. So it will pick up any new series automatically. There is no two-week cutoff, I don’t know where you got that from.

So add it to your watchlist via on demand.

There is a separate row of tiles on the Home page titled ‘Recommended for you’.

That will be the norm with all providers.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Thanks Old Boy, very informative.

As Richard says, the main reason for a series link page on TiVo is to prioritise recordings. Not to just 'gawp' at. How does 360 do this?

Series links just on one channel has limitations, if a show gets moved lets say because of a world event extending the news then it wont be picked up. I'm sure the answer is get from on demand but that isn't great if too long has passed.

How about the EPG, is it dynamic? That same world event delaying a show on the same channel, will that get picked up? I appreciate TiVo doesn't have one either but is this a positive in favour of 360?

Thanks

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

So add shows not currently on to wish list.in on demand. Correct.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

eh? if you want to watch the show just search for it or use the microphone on remote? so much quicker and easier than wish list rubbish chief

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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?

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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
https://www.virginmedia.com/the-edit...60-auto-delete

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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:

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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!

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

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.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Wonder if the advertisers who this waffle was aimed at know that ?

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Sky appear to be becoming a streaming aggregator at a reduced price.

The Coupon King said earlier today that purchasing HBO max, Disney+, Netflix,Discovery+ & hayu on their own are normally £26 per month. However, there is a deal where you can get them for £22 and have Sky included too, it's called Sky Ultimate TV.

I wonder if Virgin will follow suit? If not, it could be worth bearing in mind for those considering switching away from Virgin.

---------- Post added at 23:00 ---------- Previous post was at 22:58 ----------

I wonder if Sky Atlantic will eventually be added to the V6 and they are just delaying it in order to manipulate customers onto the 360? I can't see Sky being happy that their viewing figures and ad revenue are being impacted by the actions of Virgin.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Well Hayu was dropped from Virgin years ago, as far i as i can see Virgin are only adding HBO Max app , not Discovery+ which I doubt has long term future now, Sky press release didn't mention Discovery+ in regard to Sky Ultimate TV.

I could see Virgin doing it with Disney+ at some stage like they do with Netflix

There is less reason to do for now with HBO Max when current HBO series (before the end of 2025) are also still on Sky Atlantic and aswell as any new seasons.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Don't Sky customers get Discovery + free anyway, maybe this is why it wasn't mentioned??

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Maybe when Ofcom get enough complains about VMO2 withholding services from a specific group of customers without offering a reduction to the subscription fee.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Virgin Media has finally updated it's website promoting the Entertainment bundle today, to remove the old Sky Max and Sky Showcase logos.

TCM HD
TCM +1
MTV MUSIC
MTV Live HD
Club MTV
MTV 90s
MTV 80s
The Box

Kiss
Magic
Kerrang
CBS Reality
CBS Reality +1
Horror Xtra
Horror Xtra +1
HGTV
HGTV +1
GREAT! movies
Viaplay Xtra
CITV
POP
Tiny Pop

That's at least 25 channels that Virgin Media claims to offer, and doesn't, because they no longer exist in that form or at all.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

There's a new feature on Virgin Media Edit about Sky Atlantic:

https://www.virginmedia.com/the-edit...s-on-virgin-tv

It's says, multiple times, "Virgin TV customers with a Sky Basic package" or "add Sky Basic to your package"

This is an incredibly poor choice of language, as Sky Basic is internal Virgin Media language and there is no such thing as a Sky Basic package from a consumer perspective.

When you buy a TV package from Virgin Media at no point is it referred to as a Sky Basic package and Sky Basic is not language that ever appears on your package details or contract.

By using this term repeatability in the feature they are likely to confuse a lot of customers, who won't be sure whether they have 'a Sky Basic package'.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

They might have seen my post...

The article has been adjusted to say 'a Sky Entertainment Channels package'.

Personally, I would have said 'a package with Sky Entertainment channels', but at least it's clearer than before.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Well the increasingly amount of free air content including all new Investigation Discovery series on TLC and Quest Red don't require a subscription anyway, these are available on both HBO Max and Discovery+ in the US.

Probably the reason they have much better slots on Virgin than Investigation Discovery pay channel since January.

I do wonder if Investigation Discovery pay channel will end up getting shut down in the UK.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

I believe discovery+ is getting rolled into hbomax when it launches in the uk.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Slightly related to the 'Sky Atlantic' only on 360 boxes.

Sky are currently testing 'Disney Cinema' on satellite. There were reports that this channel would only be on SkyQ and Sky Stream - not the older Sky+/HD boxes.

Well the tests work on SkyQ but are blocked only Sky+/HD boxes.

Seems Sky and VirginMedia are taking the same route in launching only on current boxes.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

There is another change on the 360 and Stream boxes with software version 5.24.

Bringing up Info now, either by voice control or via the context button there is a new layout.

On the details page, the names of the actors and director have been moved down. You can now highlight and select an actor or director to search and find other titles featuring that person.

BBC West Midlands HD & ITV Central West HD look to be imminent additions to the West region TV franchise group headends along the Severn valley. These will use the usual additional region slots (Channel 858 for BBC, 870 for ITV). As usual they will be node dependent, so only customers in the actual overlap area will have them viewable.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Are Virgin no longer bothering changing the names of Sky Cinema channels ?

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Or could it be - are Sky no longer bothering to request VirginMedia to change the names?

It is a waste of time - Sky Movies Beverley Hills Cop was a change on Saturday to be changed again on Monday.

And Virgin's name change times are different to Sky's.

Tried to add Gogglebox to my watchlist for my wife today, and it wouldn’t add it. Everything else is working OK.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

Do you have different profiles set up for yourself and your wife? If so you need to add Gogglebox to your wifes profiles watchlist. It shouldn't appear on any other profile, or the shared profile if it's set up under your wifes profile.

I've just tested by adding CH4 to my Sport profile, and then adding Googlebox to that watchlist. The program appeared under the watchlist on the Home screen on the Sport profile, but didn't show under the watchlist on the Shared profile.

I hope that it's not just being allowed as a taster before going live to encourage people to change to 360/Stream, but it does sound like good news for V6 users.

Aside from mirroring to the TV from the app it's also possible to use the browser version (https://virgintvgo.virginmedia.com/) on a computer and connect to the TV using HDMI.

I agree, even if not, if it remains on TV Go after launch, this could be why Sky saud it would be available to 3m customers.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 

From 1 April, Sky Atlantic will be available to all new and existing customers who already receive, or choose to add, Sky Entertainment channels with their package and have a Virgin TV Stream box or Virgin TV 360

Per the vmo2 press release it's pretty clear that sky Atlantic will be available for 360/Stream customers. I reckon some are reading too much into the TV go addition today. It could end up as a barker for Atlantic for V6 or else disappear altogether.
