Is this still the case, as the EPG is now so atrocious that manual recordings are essential? Whole days can be missing or one programne is listed for hours (today on Channel 4+1 it says that The Great Pottery Throw Down starts at 05;40 and ends at 00:05!!)

Without manual recording, I wouldn't have been able to record a fair few programmes later this evening.
Plus the fact I discovered you cannot search for shows which are not on in the next 14 days - so couldn’t add everything….

These were all factors which made me get Virgin to restore my V6 software - yes it is possible (and technically straightforward) but took several escalations re being mis sold it!

Years ago Sky Atlantic would have been a big win but still not sure it would have convinced me given how bad the 360 is.

Kind of have best of both worlds currently as can record the few broadcast shows we watch and FF ads and then use Fire Stick for streaming services.


For years there has been lots of speculation about V6 forced migrations but personally I think they’ll just keep incentivising it more and then the point it is forced is eventual moves to FTTP
