I suspect that this is the start of the major push to get people onto the 360 before it's pulled.
Edit: Has anyone found that retention deals are being linked to a condition that their V6 is converted to the 360?

Don't do it Richard, the VM forums are full of folks regretting switching. A lot of functions are missing on the 360, plus talking your remote control will get you locked up
Can't see them forcing migrations, it would have to be voluntary as folks will lose their recordings. I recently recontracted and it wasn't mentioned. A lot still have the old Tivo and haven't upgraded a V6 yet, VM don't have a history of rolling new equipment out quickly. It will probably be new apps/ updates only on the new box, like Sky+, to try and sucker the punters to switch. The only app I use is iplayer, then I mostly use my smart TV for that as its quicker.
Hopefully VM have learnt a lesson from the 360 and do some consumer testing before their next box.
