So what do the contracts of people with a V6 powered by TV 360 say? Mine says "Virgin Media TV V6 box, powered by TiVo". Even if I "updated" to TV 360 software, it would still be a "Virgin Media TV V6 box". There is a distinct and separate "Virgin Media TV 360 box".
So when VM refer to TV 360 box, does that include a V6 box running TV360 software? When VM say "we'll give you an upgrade on us", does that mean TV360 software or a TV360 box? It's still not a properly answered question by VM or anybody else. Just don't go jumping into using TV360 software expecting to get Sky Atlantic. It may happen, it may not.
