Here is a roundup:

Good- improved speed. VM claim that it's 10 x faster than the old TiVo and this was accepted. Has Netflix (but not Amazon). Packages slightly cheaper than comparable Sky packages.

Could be useful- ability to record 6 channels at once for families watching diverse material. Being able to press a button on the box to locate the remote control.

Bad- Less channels, 4K content & VOD than Sky eg Broadchurch wasn't available on VM.

The Telly Tablet was particularly slated. It had a large screen and a useful stand, but a really low & tinny sound which was described as "terrible".

The actual mechanics of watching programmes wasn't good. The interface was said to be less slick than Sky Q, many shows weren't available, you can only play back off one of the two TiVos.

The actual streaming didn't work very well eg kept stopping.
Doesn't sound very balanced to me! Were they as hard on the Sky Q, which has been subject to numerous customer complaints?

I'm well pleased with my 2 V6s, which communicate with each other with no problems.

What planet are these children on? I thought that they knew something about new technology!
