They are just programmes at the end of the day, not proper channels. An easy play for VM!

My 360 received the latest update a few days ago, which introduces the new Personal Home screen as explained here:

Scrolling through the epg on my V6 is a lot quicker since the crappy fast channels have gone

They also seem to have given up on the on daily on screen message promising disaster if you dont convert to tje 360. Down to the hardcore refuseniks now, so they are wasting their time.

Don't like the term refuseniks , me I am if it ain't broke don't fix it kind of guyv

Same, I'm not a Luddite or anything, but experience has shown that many 'improvements' (not just VM) lately are simply ways to improve 'their' profits

If you're going to improve something, make it better, don't just throw another flashing LED on it.

I guess all the Research & Development departments need to justify their existence too, not to mention the Marketing bods with their big smiles and extravagant claims of superior products

my mum is 75 next month and she loves the 360 and says its a lot easier to use than the v6 and with better features.

i know a lot of you are saying you wont upgrade to 360 because "the v6 is better" or theres "no point" but if my mum can get used to it and like it i'm sure you older folk can too!

My mum is nearly 90 and could never used most of the stuff I liked on TiVo but she uses the 360 fine. She has just added a Stream box to a second tv.

Once again, it's not about getting used to it, it's about features that people value that are missing on the 360.

I'm glad they've gone too but, for those that used them who want to stay on the V6, it's still possible to access them via apps, just like Sky Atlantic.
