I just have to add a link to support something I say and the usual suspects fall on me like a ton of bricks. This is not normal behaviour.

Oh, I get that people will have different views on this, and I completely accept that. But have you not seen previous posts in response to mine on this subject? The people who accuse me of being absolutely adamant that my 2035 ‘prediction’ is correct are just as adamant that their view that IPTV will not happen soon and conventional channels will not disappear is correct. My ‘prediction’ is not a guaranteed outcome, of course I know that - I am simply giving my view. I am happy to accept the views of others will differ from mine, but the attitude that what I am saying could never happen is a failure to accept that things can change.


I am not ignoring the opinions of others, and I have been diligent in addressing their points of view in my responses.

What you are saying here about people who may leave Virgin if viewers only have a choice of the V6 in the future is correct. The point I’m making is simply that if Virgin so decide, there is nowhere else to go to keep those features that some are saying they can’t do without.
Agreed.

I agree with all that, except your last sentence. I simply said that the features the V6 has that the 360 has not are minor features. I get it that some people think they are important to them.



No, epsilon, I am just giving my point of view. Nothing anyone has said changes my basic presumption that the V6 will not be around for that much longer and that everything will be broadcast on demand or by live stream via IPTV by 2035 unless the government intervenes.

I could not fail to notice that some contributors vehemently disagree, and that’s fine. But if they misunderstand or misrepresent what I’ve said, I will respond.

I hope that clears things up.
So because you don't use them, they are described as 'minor features'.

I wouldn't call not having an EPG for and the ability to record radio 'minor'.

Just as Sky introduce this, Virgin decide to scrap theirs.

You never did answer my question as to which V6 features are effectively available on the 360. I shall assume that you spoke before looking into it properly and found that you were talking nonsense.
