*Automatic start of all recordings two minutes before programme scheduled
*Podcasts
*Enlarged TV Guide available
*A prompt to delete a recording when watched
*When using TV On Demand, a prompt to move immediately to next episode appears.
*More streamers available including Paramount+ and AppleTV+.

So people who are considering whether to stick with the V6 or change to the 360 can take their pick. Personally, I am glad I made the change.
That is a fair comparison, but on a couple of the points..
> Voice control. Indeed so. The V6 has one-key jumps between recordings & live TV, the TV360 has either voice-control or 7keys.
> Automatic padding added to recordings. The V6 allows you to alter your padding defaults to what you choose. Two minutes before is one of the options.
> VOD moving to the next episode when one has finished. V6 has this, but presumably TV360 prompts you sooner hence the "immediately" comment.
> Restart live TV is a fair one - V6 will give you menu-driven access to alternate showings or VoD assets. A "different" approach.
