Well said, nialli, I was beginning to think it was only me welcoming the news of the new V6.

Sure, there are some disappointments, such as the absence of a 2TB box, but the 4k content that we have to look forward to (and I have not heard anywhere that Virgin Movies won't be offering this), the 6 tuners and the fast speeds, as well as the ability to stream between boxes, is all welcome stuff.

We should not be expecting much 4k content initially, but this will come with time, and I dare say VM are busily trying to put together new deals for such content as we speak.

I fully expect a better range of apps to start appearing as well before too long; after all, the new box is designed for apps and this is completely in keeping with the direction of travel.

The main problem I think will be in wresting 4k content from Sky and BT, although it may become available to us after the first year.
