Re: Free V6 box
You WONT need to enter a new contract to get a free box swap.

I would give them a call and make a fuss, i am sure you will get it replaced eventually.

I would tell them it is missing recordings, keeps needing resetting etc and see where you get.

The current VIP bundle comes with two Virgin TV V6 boxes, so you should see what options you have to change to the current version of VIP and get the two V6 boxes.
This particular activity is to ensure every TV bundle customer has one Virgin TV V6. Even if I didn't work for Virgin Media, I can only see this as a good thing to help as many customers as possible get the same TV experience.

Re: Free V6 box
Here is an article about the free upgrade. Notice they are confirming that they will be more proactive on commissioning OTT content. This is where our new stuff will come from, I think, rather than new channels.

Re: Free V6 box
I have a couple of vhd boxes.I pay £6 p.m. extra for the second one.Do you think it will just be straight swops(self installs?)and the second charge stays the same.

Re: Free V6 box
Pretty similar to the previous query. Currently got a Tivo and a V+ box, will they upgrade just one or both boxes?
And would there be any extra monthly charge? (like there used to be for making your second box a Tivo too). Already paying over £100pm at the moment.

I've got a tivo and a vhd.
Rang up about this offer a few months ago, when they were charging the £20. Didn't want to swap the Tivo, ever so fond of it's scart output, but wanted to swap the Vhd for a V6. There was an extra monthly charge, reason being it was a recordable box, has this changed ?

Re: Free V6 box
I'm getting impression from some places that you need a Superhub 3 for a V6. Is SH2 not compatible in some way?

Re: Free V6 box
SuperHub 2 and 2ac are currently compatible, however Virgin Media will offer the Hub 3.0 quite often along with the V6.

Possibly - but this is the biggest hurdle I have. I've never quite agreed with the idea of the V6 sharing my home broadband, much prefer the idea of the box having dedicated connections.
But inability to transfer recordings when we don't watch some programs until well beyond 3/4 weeks after broadcast..that's my issue. I know you can rely on OD services upto a point, but it's still a pain when I'm pretty happy with my 1Tb box in the grand scheme.
I know one day probably within 18months I'll changeover, but I find my Tivo performs perfectly well and "if it ain't broke"...

I do not want SH3, will I still be able to have the V6?
