No, it’s definitely an upgrade. What many cannot seem to accept on here is that different boxes have different features and that new technology simply means you do things differently.
A common complaint is that the 360 does not have an undelete facility, but I have to question how important that really is now. I think this feature is only available on boxes using TiVo technology - as far as I know, it doesn’t appear on any other boxes.
But how important is the undelete feature nowadays anyway? On the rare occasions when I have accidentally deleted something, I have resurrected the programme through the ‘add to watchlist’ feature, which draws programmes from the on demand system. Pretty well everything is on there now if it was previously shown on live TV.
A lot of the early problems with the 360 have been resolved now, and it’s pretty decent, in my view. I particularly like the profiles feature. I have a shared profile for all the programmes my wife and I watch together, as well as a separate one just for me and another for my wife. It makes things much easier for us both, in that we no longer have to flog through a huge long list when selecting our programmes.
It is true that you have to select Netflix programmes by going into the app itself rather than by linking them into your bookmarked programmes on the 360, but that was a Netflix decision, and unless they change their minds about that, all new boxes will be similarly restricted.
