As with Sky - you can only have one main box. May change later perhaps.

Not sure I'd want coax cable running all over my house or inside my house for each of the mini boxes.

No different than currently is for people with additional boxes though.

Yes, I know. A satisfactory alternative for me would be a 2Tb box, but there's no sign of that yet. I would be happy also with on demand or cloud 'recording' but unfortunately I fear that such bookmarking would be time limited. I would be content with a 2 year period, but certainly no less.

If, as rumoured, they update the 1Tb V6 box with Horizon software. I wonder what will happen if you have two (or more) 1Tb V6s updated?

True but I'm not a current subscriber , it would put me off switching supplier to Virgin.

Well I'd completely forgotten...if I ever knew. Fair enough.

There's been channels called TuneAway before, but this is first I recall with 4K mentioned. Nice spot.

tbh I don't really know why anyone needs that amount of recording space.

If you watch everything from your recordings and VOD, Max, you most certainly do.

Quite easily in family homes with multiple mini boxes.

And the EPG now says Channel No Longer Available from the 1st October for Disney XD, Disney Channel, +1 and Disney Junior. But this was expected as they are closing on all UK platforms.
