Does the 360 still have the backwards EPG? Where you can go back days in the EPG for catch up shows?

dont know if its new, but when the virgin tv go app really works well with the 360 platform. it did just get an update but i cant be sure this stuff was in there before.

all the profiles stuff is there and you can watch recordings or stream live from the one app and its all integrated with the 360 now.

That’s always been there for TV 360.

The 360 boxes can have both major 'point' releases and minor updates within those releases. So there are times where it'll get an updated doesn't fundamentally change what you see.

Same with the TV Go app.

Saying that, profiles in the TV Go app for the 360 boxes has been since the start.

BenMcr, is the 360 TV Go a new app with a separate app store listing, or does it rearrange itself according to whether the account has a Horizon or Tivo powered equipment on it?

I don't know where I read it, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the TV Go app was always an adapted (for UK Tivo) and reskinned version of the app used with the Horizon in mainland Europe anyway.

Yes, it's the same TV Go app for all UK customers, with the 360 features hidden if you have TiVo or V6.

wish I had paid more attention, just seems now app is now fully complete and you can do anything with profiles that you can with the box. and playback seems to have more options.

either way, im actually pretty impressed with the app now, feels odd coming here singing virgins praises :D

I currently have 3 V6 boxes and am considering 'upgrading' to 360. Can anyone confirm if Virgin are still charging extra for the third box under the new system?

Also has anyone got any good deals on the ultimate oomph bundle given latest £4.50 price hike? Otherwise I would be up to £120/month for the 3 boxes.

One other question - does virgin tv go app now work with *all* channels? It got a lot better but still annoying when you would go to eg BBC or BT Sport and they didn't have license ability

£120 a month, I have 2 V6 boxes, 200gb BB, single phone line. Full Sky/BT package. The latest price hike will push my payment to exactly £140 per month. Definitely not on the Ultimate Oomph package.

I just wish I could get the Sports without all the film channels which we never use.

Time to make that phone call again methinks.;)

The problem is one does not exactly save that much when they get rid of the film channels and keep the sports channels..

You can have Sky Sports without Cinema. Probably won't save you much though
