V6 and the new boxes will co-exist for some time.
For the vast majority, I would suggest, if they have two boxes today, 1TB is more than sufficient for those that actually watch what they record.
For those that archive, .......
You think that 120 hours of HD recording is sufficient? VIrgin Media encourages its customers to time shift their viewing, but that is hardly an incentive.

Bookmarking helps, but you never know how long your selected programme will remain available that way.

Incidentally, I do not archive my programmes. Everything is on my recorders that I want to see as soon as I can, and when I am in the mood to watch those programmes. I don't watch anything more than once. 2Tb per device is an absolute minimum VM should be providing, in my view, unless we can have the capability to record to the cloud and retain those recordings for a couple of years. Fat chance we have of that happening, unfortunately.
