Don't work for Virgin, just one of the lucky ones according to email received, engineer installed his first one yesterday, but only installing one today, so guessing it's a soft rollout of the product before big launch at end of month.

What are your impressions? Is there a picture based main menu like Sky's? Is it slick and fast? What is the price of the 1TB and the 2TB?

As a Sky convert I'm as happy as you can be, an hour into having it, the V6 is as quick as Sky box, if not quicker. No idea on price as didn't ask for it and therefore got it for same as usual 1TB TiVo, not aware of 2TB as this is a 1TB box

It would seem DCX model numbers belong to Arris (they purchased Pace earlier this year)

Arris confirmed, they make the Hub 3.0 as well, if fact the V6 and Hub 3.0 look very very similar, same size as well.

If that's right then the new boxes are built by Pace rather than Cisco and Samsung (so a company who's got a good track record of Sat/Cable boxes)
