Will we notice any differences with this update, Ben?

Plus it's bound to be a small change that broke it, so more likely to be a quick and easy fix.

Virgin renewed its contract with Radioline in July

Sound not dropping out on recordings from BT Sport Ultimate. But other than that, probably nothing you'd notice.

Thanks nialli.

Didn't know they were on Twitter. What does "native podcast" mean I wonder. Own content? Or simply that there is a podcast section now?

Is "Purchase Controls" (below "Parental Controls") in the "Help & Settings" menu renamed? I recall the function it provides being there, but not labelled like that or in that position.

the pandemic has made the "coming soon to virgin media" thread more bleak than usual. If works had worked out we could have been watching NBC Sky News which would have been bonkers ....sky previously owned by murdoch who owned fox....nbc news usually liberal...would have been quite unstable which would have been comedy gold.

With the US elections coming up we need better american tv channels! The picture of CNN is rubbish too...plus CNN international focuses on stock markets most of the time.....the real question is why?!

The best American news channel is Fox owned by Rupert Murdoch. It is the only one that is non pc, the only one putting foreword right wing views.

i'd agree its the best because its an absolute parody of a news channel. theres having a right wing news channel and then there is a news channel which is blatantly bs....

on other topics of coming soon been told that the horizon software is coming to v6's from the virgin media forum. Surely that would make sense as the virgin 360 is just one main box and then other boxes to stream off? A cheaper alternative to having 2 or more main tivos? no idea whats happening now!

With the 360s each are their own box requiring the VM co-ax connected to watch tv. The mini box only streams home recordings from the main box but you can still watch live tv with the mains box switch off.

It's good that they offer the additional mini-boxes, but as the main one is only 1Tb, I would require two main boxes that you can use in the same way as two V6s (eg you can see all your recordings from the each box.
