Now has never really tried that hard to get customers.
Its still cheaper then the Sky Stream 31 day alternative (esp with the current offers).

It’s hardly ‘sly’ - it’s pretty obvious really!
So a row of tiles appears with programme suggestions based on one's viewing habits, instead of the previous TiVo suggestions facility, have I understood correctly?

What other replacements for missing TiVo features are there?

The Sly behaviour of Virgin is how they are pushing the 360 onto customers as if it's the best thing since sliced bread. The whole 'You're getting an upgrade', as if there is no alternative, no mention of the loss of features and withholding Sky Atlantic from the V6 EPG, whilst openly saying that V6 customers must change to inferior software on their box in order to get the channel, when this is totally untrue.

I have a V6 and have been casting it to my TV via Virgin TV Go on & off over the weekend (wasn't particularly impressed with it tbh.)

This is what I mean by sly manipulation.
