DS Forum is reporting that Apple TV + app has been added to TV360 Boxes (And maybe Virgin Media Stream boxes).

Also on Stream boxes apparently. Stream has also gained a few more of the missing channels overnight.

Just a few more channels as far as I know at the moment.
HGTV, CNBC HD, Bloomberg HD, PBS America, Legend & Talk TV in the Inclusive channels pack & Crime+Inv HD in the "Essentials" add-on.

I don't get very much information for Stream and don't have the channel numbers for the new or pre-existing services.

Stream follows the same channel numbers as the V6/360 platform.

There's an unusual situation I discovered on my Stream box tonight.
Food Network isn't available as a linear channel and on demand content isn't listed in the Catch Up or Boxsets sections. But searching for individual programmes results on viewable on demand content. I wonder if this is a sign the channel could be added to Stream boxes soon.

Tech visit today. He says TiVo and 360 boxes will be replaced with smaller fire stick type kit with no recording option over the next few years.
"Stream "only?

That’s the way it’s going, whether we like it or not.

Watch out Sky - EE unveils new way to watch TV that brings back most-wanted feature

EE is taking aim at Sky with a new TV box that offers a swathe of features including the ability to record right on the device itself.

Sky is about to get a new rival that is bringing back a very popular feature. EE - which is most famous for its speedy mobile network -has just announced the launch of its new TV Box Pro at an event in London. It gets all the functions you'd expect - including access to streaming apps - but it also packs an in-built hard drive for storing content and even recording four shows at the same time.

Although Sky Q has long had this functionality, more recent gadgets such as Sky Glass and Sky Stream have moved away from physical hard disks with content now held on the cloud instead.

I think Virgin have stopped adding +1 channels, CNN HD is the most likely channel to launch , Boomerang depends if they are phasing out the channel in the UK aswell and replace the HD version with Cartoonito
