So what do the contracts of people with a V6 powered by TV 360 say?
I updated two TiVo V6 boxes to TV360 when the Horizon software interface was first introduced in the UK in November 2020. I have since added a VM Stream box to my set up as well. My contract (pictured below) describes the box as a TV360 set top box.

The Horizon boxes were first brought out in Europe in 2012, and the Horizon 4 set-top box was actually introduced as the ‘V6 box’ which ran on the TiVo interface in the UK. The current Stream boxes are running Horizon 5.

Additional Info.

There are actually two hardware versions of the V6 box.
The older boxes were manufactured by Arris and designed to operate on both the TiVO and the Horizon V4+ platforms. There are reports of these older boxes failing on conversion to the 360 (Horizon) format, possibly due to the age and usage of the box being converted.
VM (Liberty Global ) have also produced a Humax box alongside a newer Arris box and these boxes can only operate on the Horizon platform.
