You can open the apps by holding the voice button and saying the name of the app, for example, 'netflix', or 'Prime', or 'iPlayer'

Netflix search isn't integrated into the 360 search. Instead there is a Netflix text search when selecting the search icon from Home and then select netflix from the "All" dropdown option on the right. It only shows netflix items and immediately launches the Netflix app when selecting a result.


Only issue is being able to fast forward quicker. used to be able to jump to the next chapter of a recording (if thats what they called it....it was like a line in the recording every 15 mins and you could jump to it with the arrow to the right and a line on the tivo remote next to the magnify glass on the v6 remote.

To skip forwards/backwards 15 minutes in recordings - press MIC and say "go forward 15 minutes" or "go back 15 minutes". You can also say "fast forward 10 minutes" or whatever amount of time you want. To avoid adverts on streamed & on demand say "skip forward three minutes" or "fast forward 3 minutes"

The left and right arrow buttons either side of the OK button skip forward 30 seconds and back 10 seconds.

If you press the fast forward button above the '3' key, you have 4 speeds depending on how many times you press the button, when fast forwarding you can press the TV button to turn off the graphics, you can then press the play button to start watching.

When fast forwarding press TV button and that will switch off the fast forward arrows etc. For Stop press the back button or pause button, TV button also stops and puts you back to TV.

To play back in slow motion press pause then Fast Forward


i kept all 3 big boxes and no mini boxes. so i assume the recordings will be kept separate as a result?

Due to the way the 360 (Horizon) is set up in the other Liberty Global regions everything is stored in the cloud. The recordings are unique to the UK market and all the links for the recordings are stored in the cloud, and so they are all pooled together irrespective of the box they are recorded on and show up under one combined list. So be careful removing recordings as there is no undelete function.

There is a kind of workaround to view recordings made on the particular box you are using, but you need to do this each time.

Go to Recordings > Recorded > View All and use the navigational pad on the 360 remote to move the red onscreen highlight to the top and click on Recorded. A drop down box then appears with 4 options. Recorded, Recorded on this Virgin TV box, Planned, and Planned for this Virgin TV box

You can fine tune the boxes the recordings are going to be recorded on by clicking on Record, then on the next screen click Advanced Options, then on the next screen click on Choose TV Box, then select the box you want to record on and then click on Record. That program will then be recorded on that box going forward, even if the default recording box is one of the others.
