There are no current plans by VM to migrate V6 over to the 360, VM are quite happy to have both in their network.
VM stream is the one to watch still talk about it being available soon to any isp.
I do hope so, but aren't Virgin keen to stop paying to licence TiVo in favour of their own operating system?

i cant see how virgin media are happy to have both v6 and 360 as conflicting platforms. thats why they're so eager to get people to the 360 software! this is costing virgin media money every year having to license the tivo brand.

probably causes all those price rises and lack of new channels because some people can't accept change....

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
I don’t think VM will ditch the TiVo boxes until their contract with TiVo expires.

I shouldn’t think so! If people refuse to upgrade and the service is no longer available, then they won’t get Virgin TV, will they?

Well, I didn't pluck it out of the air. Take a look online.

Exactly. From what I understand of their t&c's, they are free to force people to swap over and, if they won't, they can terminate their TV service.

It's utter nonsense about those who don' t want to move to this inferior box causing price increases. Virgin will charge the maximum of what the market (or an individual) is prepared to pay regardless of any other costs.

I am assuming that staff are incentivised to get people to change as there have been more reports that, upon recontracting, the 360 has never been mentioned and then one of it's remote controls is received in the post. If people ignore it and don't download the 360 software, after five days it's done automatically.

Anyone affected by this sly/manipulative trick was advised to contact Virgin to get it cancelled. Mind you, saying that there are numerous reports that it's impossible to get through to a human to do so!

but virgin media would lose out on money they're desperate for. they must think its more beneficial keeping those people at the moment but it doesnt help their profits so will impact the rest of us in the longer term as a result of these "scared" users

As you haven't posted any links, I'd imagine a search would throw up 80% comments by yourself.

They have decommissioned boxes before, Vince.
