TV360 can record 6 channels at once allegedly, never tried that many as theres never that many items of interest.
So you've got multi-channel series links, and undelete. Just to mention two others that immediately spring to mind..

Background buffering of all 6 tuners on V6, only the live channel plus any recordings, on TV360.
V6 lets you set series links from a VoD entry, even if the programme isn't in the current EPG. TV360 requires an EPG entry.

In fairness, there are others where the two platforms work differently..
V6 has EPG integration with Netflix, TV360 doesn't - but uses a search-based method to (apparently) achieve similar results.
V6 has one-touch access between TV & recordings, TV360 has either multiple presses or voice-control.

There's numerous threads on VM's forum about V6 vs TV360, and they always provoke some debate. Fundamentally the two platforms are different, whether TV360 is an upgrade depends on your individual usage. TV360 has Disney+ & Paramount+ , and has the Sky Sports-HD multiscreen that hasn't yet landed on V6.

For me, it would be a massive downgrade as the current feature set stands.
