Saying that there is nothing wrong with it as a product, but it doesn't look as nice as modern day electronics.

How would you like it improved? - you only slate it without any suggestions how it could look better

I am not fussed about any improvements in its design as i was just saying it looked a bit like a mini 80s style VCR, some people will find it far too bulky others wont, i do like the design of the Sky Q box better though.
I never slated it though. lol

That glaring blue light is most annoying, so I'm going to hide mine somewhere soon.
I've got ours connected via wifi at the moment a all 4 ethernet ports are in constant use. As we switch off the hub each night, the V6 forgets it's to be connected via wifi each day so has to be told what signal to pair with.

Just stuffed my V6 in a bedroom draw today. Even in standby and not recording it powers up in the middle of the night doing its updates. Seems to irritate quite a few looking at the support forum, VM need to give it a sleeping bedroom mode Working ok so far, put a couple of ventilation holes in the back of drawer unit, see how it goes, remote works fine.

Is your hub putting out 2.4 & 5Ghz on the same SSID, as this is the most common cause of issues. I renamed mine & haven't had any problems since.

Re: V6 box
I looked in My Recordings last evening, and 2 films I had set to record had not done so.
Then I realised it should be recording a film at that very moment. but it did not appear in the list at all. I looked in My Planned Recordings and it was there, having started to record over an hour beforehand. Clicking on that entry took me to an option to watch before it had finished recording (as usual). I paused at one point and looked in My Recordings and it still wasn't in there. ???

My son can't get a solid wifi connection on the 5Ghz signal, so I switched it off. So just the 2.4Ghz signal is active.

The V6 seems to be working fine stuffed away in a drawer so far. Nice and quiet too, a good night's sleep hopefully
