General : Virgin TV 360 users (Horizon)

[Bob]

Yes my parents had the audio issue but I thought that has been resolved. There was a workaround anyway that seemed to do the trick. But can't remember what it was. I think Spiderplant made the suggestion in this very thread.

I haven't heard of any lip-sync problems for a few weeks so I suspect it has been resolved.

Thanks guys

I received the new remote yesterday, going to update V6 later this week.

The 360 is Horizon, yes? Does anyone know if it's the same version around Europe?
If so, do they have the same bugs as the UK?

I’ve never had problems till this last few weeks and now I’ve noticed a drift in Sound sync some days for no apparent reason.

I was quite keen to try it out and I still really like it and it is a lot fresher than the Tivo interface.

My wife says she can navigate it a whole lot easier than Tivo

I like the HD channel swap and the voice instructions (which at first I thought it was gimmicky) and I use it all the time now.

Overall although their are a few features missing, I think for us that it is much better (and less cluttered)

I held off for a while which is unusual for me as I like to get new tech at release and didn't reply to my email invitation.

I remember back when I forced my ntl digital box to update to get the 'new' VirginTV black and yellow software weeks before they rolled it out and I was one of the first customers to get Tivo in Teeside.

I found myself speaking commands to Google Home to turn on lights, heating, TV's and so on, that when I type on Tivo it feels very slow.
I like that HD channels replace SD versions
and I like the look of the new modern software.

Also, I didn't pay a fee, the change hasn't altered my discounts or contract.

I hardly record much these days, I usually stream from On-demand and Apps.

Yes, there are a few features missing, and apps for now, but I'm sure new ones and updates will come to 360 in the future.

Yes, yes and probably.

Guess that sums it up don't use google home ( don't trust it) or Alexa .a don't type on v6 ,no need. . Hd sd don't care but in favorite always choose hdif available

I changed to 360 this morning, the update only took 6 minutes, (the info screen said 30 mins) I'm liking everything so far, very fast and modern looking software.

[Mad Max]

Never been offered it, I certainly won't be paying for a software update if offered.

[dodgem22]

Not been offered it yet either. I will wait until most of the teething problems have been sorted out before I switch.

They need to allow Alexa control as Sky have done and then I might be interested.

[ozsat]

There is no Alexa control on Sky.
