As I said, with you it's either "my way of the highway".

All I’m saying is it’s my opinion and nothing anyone has said on here changes my mind because they’ve not come up with anything that convinces me otherwise. My opinion is for me to express for all the reasons I have given over the years and doesn’t actually affect anyone else.
But I would ask you to consider the fact that although your opinion is one I don’t agree with, and unlike many other naysayers on here, I am happy to accept that. So whose highway is it?

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.

No, Richard.
I accept that the features that are missing from the 360 compared with the V6 appear to be important to some, but they are, in fact, minor features. Why does anyone want to ‘manage’ their series links, for example? If I want to delete a series link on my 360, for example, I simply delete it. I don’t see the problem. And if you delete a recording by mistake, which surely is a relatively rare event, just bookmark it instead.
The biggest difference which is truly detrimental is the absence of a recording facility for radio stations, although I don’t think many people would want to do that (I accept that you do).
I rarely used any of these functions when I had the V6/and I have never missed them. As for not answering your question, Inreferred you to earlier debates on this. The main features I like, and which I actually do use on a regular basis, are voice controls, personalised profiles, the startover feature and the additional streamers such as Apple TV+ and Paramount+. I also like the more straight forward, modern and uncluttered UI. I don’t get the regular buffering problems that I used to get with the V6 software (I am still using the 360 software on my V6 box, by the way.
Another thing - I can select favourite channels by profile, so I can list my favourite channels on my EPG to reflect dramas, film channels and documentary channels, whereas my wife on her profile can have her fav channels, which might be reality and film channels only.
You can use the ‘skip’ button to skip the introduction to a programme or to skip the recap that you get on many programmes now. A prompt pops up towards the end of a programme that you can click on to automatically jump to the next programme in a series. Towards the end of a recorded programme, a prompt comes up to remind you to delete it if you don’t want to see it again. Just click on it to delete it.
These are all really useful additional features that more than compensate for the TiVo ones that you would lose.

I only repeat things if people keep asking the same questions or make inaccurate references to my posts. Nothing wrong with that.
