Personally I don't see a couple of guys here for a couple of hours as hassle. Once it's done it's done.

That's coming soon then. lol
Yep, until you decide you want to move the box to another part of the room, or even another room altogether.. Then you need Virgin out again.

The v6 looks to me just like an incremental update to the current Tivo box, fixing some of the performance issues. The 4k support seems a bit of a '"well, the chipset supports it, so might as well use it" feature.

The Q update has apparently started staff beta testing already, so seems on target for early next year.

Does the v6 support split screen at all? Q can show multiple views on Sky Sports. For example, I can watch a live football match and, alongside it, replays of major incidents. Or F1 race control lets me choose 2 of about 6 feeds to display side by side - can be in car views, timing screen, etc.
