Only official thing I read was "at the turn of the year" suggesting late December/early January.

I'd prefer them to release a polished final box that works smoothly rather than a half-ass attempt just to release "something".

It would also be nice to hear if VM have any plans on 4K content, or will it just be Netflix/You Tube...etc apps to start off with...sorry maybe this is for the "Coming soon Thread"...apologies...there are too many threads lol

Good luck with that , I'm yet to be an early adopter of anything that's been smooth sailing , if that's what you want leave it 12 months.

I just meant in terms of the dates of the release of the box as some people have conflicting dates in mind.

As an aside, "V6" is a VM name. The generic name for the hardware is Eos.
Do we know where this name came from? V2 I could understand :confused: (unless it relates to the 6 tuners).

VM have got all guns blazing at the moment with their marketing for Virgin TV - I doubt they would be doing that if the V6 was launching imminently, so I think it's unlikely we will see a consumer launch this quarter now. There could be a PR launch in the coming weeks, then installs from Q1 perhaps.

Agreed. They may have taken advantage of the launch of Sky Q to add additional functionality which may delay its launch a little.

Ha ha! As long as people realise it's speculation and not anything more than that. ;)

What's to speculate is pretty much a given it will have more tuners than the current box , be faster , allow streaming to tablets , allow recordings across rooms isn't it.

The new functionality is nice, but pretty insignificant IMHO, and the speed issue is getting worse. They need to get the new box out ASAP, or address the speed issue; actually they need to do both.
