I've posted any problems that i've encountered in an honest way, but overall I am pleased with the V6 as it currently suits my needs.

This was a problem that I encountered which I posted about, had no idea it had affected others though.

No 4K content (free of pay per view) and providing no other significant advantage, will surely limit any new take up from other providers.
Free YouTube 4K content & pay Netflix 4K content are available.

A source of a member in the Coming Soon thread has stated that 4K content is coming to VM in the first quarter of 2017.

He thinks this will be in the form of PPV movies and Discovery content.
