Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
The only thread active at present is more of a speculation thread so I thought it better for one to discuss the actual system itself now that it is rolling out.
How many have got the system now and how are you finding it? First big thing is this is (currently) not a replacement for the TiVo system although I'm sure with software updates many new features will appear in the coming months. The guide data on the new system is updated much quicker and seems to be more regular too. Anyone users have any comments they wish to share? Or anyone have any questions for users? |

The remote automatically detects the HDMI connect tv and amp - so no programming needed.
The info screen on the 360 boxes is a fullscreen with graphics. Sport events look quite impressive. |

It will be interesting to see what they charge for it. Shame that they are not intending to carry Horizon on the V6 box, though. I was looking forward to that.
Both of my daughters live in areas not covered by Virgin Media, so this could be a solution for them if they wish to switch from Sky. However, for one of them, I think the lack of the ability to record would be a deal-breaker. |

Ozsat, have you got one? Or are you assembling info found from other sources?

we currently have three v6s which we use constantly to record on all 3 boxes. so i think replacing that with 1 box and 2 minis doesnt seem to be particular good. ill just stay with my v6s i think! |

Remember this is an early version of the software so things may get changed but this is the current state.
The mini box acts like a main box but has no disk - all recordings from either are only recorded on the main box (no cloud). Quote:

---------- Post added at 07:48 ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 ---------- Yes and as it was replacing V6 boxes it was really easy. The boxes look the same apart from the mini is half the height. Quote:
---------- Post added at 07:49 ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 ---------- Yes - which is the weak point of the mini I think as it can not easily be moved. Would be nice for it to receive the video via wifi (like SkyQ). The two boxes themselves connect via you own network. Quote:
---------- Post added at 07:51 ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 ---------- If you have a lot of recordings then you are best stay with the current boxes for now. Quote:
---------- Post added at 07:55 ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 ---------- There are invites being offered to selected users. I have no idea what the requirements are for the invites. It may be dependent of what you have now as VM might not be doing installs currently. Quote:

So it was new kit?
|
Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
Yes - so you loose all your recordings on your current kit - not that I had many.
