i know a lot of you are saying you wont upgrade to 360 because "the v6 is better" or theres "no point" but if my mum can get used to it and like it i'm sure you older folk can too!

If you aren’t simply trying to get a rise out of others you are lumping people together based on nothing but their age. Every person in this world is an individual with different takes on each and every thing.

im not saying you're not telling the truth richard in your own circumstances but most people who say "its missing features!!" or "theres no point in upgrading these days!" or "the v6 is better!!" usually are people who are deflecting from the fact that change scares them and they don't want to have to learn a new system.
i deal with elderly people in my full time job and this is the classic push back to nearly everything.
for those people here who are scared about the more powerful 360 and all the additional features i'd like to make myself available to help any of you with the new software if you take the plunge whether that be by email or whatsapp etc.
i feel like we as a forum can really help those scared of jumping onto a much superior tv box etc

Most people. So you surveyed/interviewed the entire Cable Forum userbase and used your Psychology Degree to individually analyse them all?
I’m not scared of learning, far from it, I used to regularly be an early adopter of new tech, but much “new” tech I find (emphasis on “l”, it is my opinion) is poorly designed, has removed features that were previously standard, made previously easy things unnecessarily roundabout and requires more button pushes to do the same thing.
The V6 Tivo interface still does things we use regularly or we prefer the way it does them, so we haven’t moved. Simple. We might use TV360 one day, it will probably be TV720 by then.
If others like new tech, great. If others think it’s better, great. (All new tech is different and cannot easily be generalised.) But everyone’s different, and we don’t need to agree, the world won’t break and will be a worse place if we were all the same.
I’m happy that you like it, but you can’t speak about or behalf of everyone, no-one can. |
