Anyone who wanted TV but refused to switch only made life more difficult for themselves. All you had to do was buy a Freeview box for £20 to £30 (or £40 for the box plus installation and support), and in some cases it was free for eligible older or disabled people.
In the case of VM, the V6 will be retired but you are offered a migration to the TV 360 at no cost, and with no tech visit needed. It beggars belief that anyone will reject that if they still want Pay TV.

For the umpteenth time, it is inferior to the TiVo V6 as 360 is missing so many features.
This is why most, including myself, will keep the V6 for as long as possible. Yes, the day will come when the V6 is discontinued (reports of anytime between July & December 2027) and people will then have to decide whether to accept it or dump Virgin.
