Using ai this what I found, can you ask for a new box ?
Compatibility of Virgin TV 360 Software
Software Upgrade Process

Virgin TV 360 software can work on older boxes like the V6 and TiVo through a software upgrade. This process allows existing hardware to access new features and improvements without needing a completely new box.
Limitations of Older Hardware

However, there are limitations. The older boxes run on TiVo firmware, while the 360 operates on Horizon firmware. This means that while the software can be upgraded, the underlying hardware may not support all the new functionalities. Users may experience issues such as:

Loss of Recorded Content: Upgrading often results in the loss of previously recorded shows.
Incompatibility: The older boxes may not fully support the new features of the 360 software, leading to a less optimal user experience.

User Experience

Many users have reported mixed experiences with the upgrade. Some appreciate the new interface and features, while others miss the functionality and customization options of the older systems.

In summary, while Virgin TV 360 software can be applied to older boxes, the experience may vary due to hardware limitations and the nature of the upgrade process.
