Does the Virgin TV 360 still have the following features that the TV6 has?

1) Does the epg show the date of when the programme was first broadcast?

2) When fast forwarding does it rewind a few seconds after pressing play?

3) Are 4:3 programmes shown in the correct aspect ratio (assuming that that option can still be found in the video output settings) ?

Thanks....

Only the year

Not that I can see

The 4:3 / 16:9 switching works fine - still only Sky who don't understand that.

Thanks....

I'm not sure he understands the main box is a master box with all the minis acting as slave boxes.

The slave boxes still allow you to record a show the difference being its recorded on the main box.

Once connected - the mini box looks as if it is a recording device - it just records on the main box and so recordings are shared.

The mini box still works if the main box is off - just recording capabilities are lost.

On the second picture in ozsat's post, the word 'RECORD' is dispayed next to a red button on the screen.

So if there is a record facility, the next question is whether the recording is made on the disk or whether it's actually a bookmark in the cloud.

It's been explained above. We already knew this the other day didn't we?

Yes - all recordings are made on the disc in the main box.

Thanks ozsat!

Interesting to see the likes of Deutsche Welle, CNN and WSJ on there but not BBC Sounds, ITV Player, All4, My5, Pluto TV etc. As you say, I'm sure there are more on the way and hopefully it will have all of these.

DW, CNN and WSJ were probably easy to port from other Liberty Horizon regions.

Can you use Quickview on these?

Shame, Quickview is great. Maybe they'll add it later.

If you have two Horizon boxes (rather than one main and one slave), do you know whether you can view recordings from the second box on the main box and vice versa, as you can with the V6?
