Virgin comes up short not just on looks but hugely on content. On functionality Sky have caught up and now that, even, is a wash. Having just switched to Sky Q (but stuck with Virgin 200mb/s BB) there are a lot of things I prefer. The ability to watch all content, recorded and on demand on any screen, tablet or extra TV, is great. About the only thing I miss so far from TiVo is the ability to configure series links, e.g. to only keep 2 episodes. Hardly a winning differentiator on its own!
So if people are meant to wait for Horizon, which isn't itself going to be truly 'better', I think it's dark days for Virgin TV, at least at the premium end.

The new box is the VM update equivalent to Sky Q; only a few months behind Sky Q.
Apart from trialists, who are under NDA, no one knows the functionality of the new box. If the functionality of the new box hasn't improved and is not similar to that of Sky Q, then there is reason to complain.
But why are people, who know nothing about it's functionality, judging it before it is released?
And moaning about it's appearance and interface, is rather like 'judging a book by it's cover', which we all know, is not a wise thing to do.
