Still current. Still no All4, Pluto or MTV Play.

That takes some doing when 360 has only been around for 20 minutes.
What are you on about? In post #826, you detected I had three months’ worth of recordings. When did that become 18 months?

I do. In speed terms, the V6 was a huge improvement and the 360 is an improvement on that.

Apologies - your use of the present tense, rather than past, led me to the incorrect assumption.

Yes, it’s still correct. While we don’t have the separate Pluto app, we do have the following channels on My5:

Pluto Drama
Pluto Food
Pluto Movies
Pluto Paranormal
Pluto Retro

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
Easy mistake for us to make.

It certainly sounds like there’s a lot more going on in linear television than you frequently let on.

It's the general rule that I watch just about everything I'm going to watch within 18 months of recording, but I lost a chunk of recordings when I switched to the 360.

A few years ago I was struggling to watch everything on my recordings, but over the last couple or three years, the reduction in quantity has been noticeable.

A sizeable proportion of my recordings is now for my wife - reality stuff, which has not diminished, unfortunately. The majority of mine is on my on demand watchlists.

I'm really pleased with the 360, the speed and I find myself using the voice command more than ever.
And that HD is by default.

I haven't missed the All4 app, but I believe it's not on a few TV's and devices. MTV, I record but would prefer the MTV Play app.

I do like how, you press play on a recording ,it plays at the channel ident, even though I have the recording set at 1 minute before and 3 mins after.
Also I like how you press back 10 seconds, on live TV or OnDemand works the same.

Like I said, I have a soft spot for TiVo, but I'm not missing it.
Is the only thing now missing from the tv 360 the All 4 app? I wonder what the timescale is for that?

Other apps on V6 but not 360 (based on a quick scan - apologies for any errors or omissions):
YouTube Kids
Pluto TV (but see OB's post above)
MTV Play
Get Fit Today
Body In Balance
Eros Now
Voot
Games
Slots

And these apps are on 360 but aren't on V6:
Wall Street Journal
Deutsche Welle
CNN

Re: Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)
My 360s were indicating I had an update today, but no new streamers appeared! Just some better functionality, it seems.

https://translate.google.com/transla...search&pto=aue Found this interesting bit of info on the Dutch version of the 360 software update. I can confirm you can search Youtube via the voice control. Appears to be the only significant difference apart from mainly bug fixes. You may need to use Google Translate to read the site. Scroll down to MediaBox Next > Knowing More > then down again to View Latest Updates.

Can you use QuickTime or something similarly named on the 360?
