Tell me, what use are Virgin's bookmarks if you are watching something on, say, Discovery+ or MUBI, or one of the many other apps that aren't on TV360 & Stream? Sure, alternative arrangements have to be made by V6 users but it seems to me that TV360 users aren't that much better off.

Source the apps from elsewhere and don't rely on what Virgin decides you will need. Virgin only provides a small subset of what is available out there.

Discovery+ is coming later this year, and I’m not moving to Stream until it arrives.I never watch MUBI, with its advertisements, so that is no deterrent for me.

Obviously, those who prefer to use the less popular streamers may make different decisions, but for me, Virgin Stream just works.

The Google TV Streamer will be quite a lot more expensive, so it might be a good idea to buy the Chromecast and save some cash, while they are still available.
My point was simply that Chromecast was being replaced. Simples.
