Re: TV360 - pro and cons
Yes - there have been more channels leaving Sky than usual over the past few months. The end is coming to Sky satellite and VirginMedia's linear services. Maybe a few years yet but the services are already seeing channels leave.
Sky's stream service has a lot less channels than SkyQ - Virgin has two less channels on their stream service when compared to their V6/360 platform.
VirginMedia has more UHD channels in their EPG over Sky.
The tv services isn't really that big in difference - the broadband services are quite different to many. I have a choice of 1Gbps with VirginMedia and 60Mpbs with any other wired ISP.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
Been trying to get me to ditch my V6 and go for the 360, currently not in contract and ignored the numerous calls trying to get me to swop.
Last night my bookmarked programs + couple of films decided to leave my V6?
Maybe its time to go for the 360?

Yes, it's telephone only now so that they can try to persuade people to get Sky Stream.

Tbh I don't think this will be down to Virgin doing anything to the box. The V6 deletes older recordings if it needs the space, could it be down to this?

Bookmarks suggest a VoD shortcut, so most likely the underlying asset expired.
Nothing to do with V6/TV360, everything to do with recording versus streaming/OD availability.
