Virgin TV Horizon 4 V6
Found this info regarding the launch of the V6 Horizon 4 in Ireland, although they are calling it Virgin TV 360. Can anyone confirm if this is what's planned later this year for the UK?..

Well the video was interesting. I can't see the UK version being much different. Bit too much flash for the sake of it for me, but it looked better than previous vids of Horizon I've seen.

Interesting to see Vimeo and Wikipedia in the apps section

Interesting to see the new multiroom setup, although I can see this causing issues in big households.
I assume if you set up seperate profiles you can choose to only see the recordings you have set or recorded. Lumping them all in together would cause problems. This is one thing I disliked about SkyQ. Also only having a single 1TB storage space is going to be a bit stingy. Up it to 2TB & they may be on a winner. The remote boxes do not buffer channels & will only pause live TV for a few minutes. The reliance on the connection to the hub is a sticking point already for some. For others the requirement to still have all boxes connected to coax will put some off. |

Only 1 box to record presumably means only able to record 6 channels at one time. 1Tb would be inadequate. This seems to be a backward step to me - are they just trying to replicate skyQ |
Re: Virgin TV Horizon 4 V6
Only 6 channels at one time............. good grief how much do you actually record !!!!

Today is a good example - cricket on all day and 10 EPL games all ko at 4pm, followed by the first championship play-off semi. Already recorded 2 NRL rugby matches and a NZ Super Rugby union match this morning. This equates to 15 programmes. |
Re: Virgin TV Horizon 4 V6
You actually find enough hours in the day to watch all that ?

Re: Virgin TV Horizon 4 V6
The 10 EPL games aren’t routinely televised.

It will be interesting to see if all EPL games will be televised in the rounds before crowds are allowed? |
Re: Virgin TV Horizon 4 V6
I hope so (I’d get rid of the blackout altogether - it’s a restriction on trade and competition) however the pressure to get games televised this time came from Government to discourage gatherings, and get some entertainment/industry going in lockdown.
Whether there would be an appetite from broadcasters long term? Commercially does BT getting extra games weaken Sky’s offering? |

I don't think BT's extra games weaken Sky's offering as they got a lot more extra games too. |

The comment you make about the storage space being stingy - I agree, but it is no worse than it is now, and in addition, you can bookmark your shows, which does not require extra disk space. I have 2TB of storage because I have two boxes, and I would imagine you can still have these with the 360 instead of, or as well as, the mini-boxes. |
Re: Virgin TV Horizon 4 V6
I wonder if the red line (colour may vary) is patented. I've seen it on other TV boxes, but not many. An old Freesat box we have has it.

Re: Virgin TV Horizon 4 V6
SO is this a new box?
