"However, from early next year, customers with a V6 box who choose to upgrade to Virgin TV 360 will instead be able to get the software update over the air."

Well...i want to keep my 3 v6 boxes? do i get anything from"upgrading" ? I assume i get fancy new software but potentially lose v6 boxes. Help me understand it my friends as i'm lost with all these boxes now...
AIUI Vince there has been one trial where boxes were replaced, but only the first STB had a HDD. The second trial currently being undertaken allows all current boxes (which have HDD's) to have the new software over the air.

From what I've read it is full of bugs and is inferior to the TiVo software that the V6 uses, so I won't be using it. If/when VM force this onto their customers I will be leaving.

There's a thread about it here:

And some feedback from those that have changed over can be found here:
