£24.99 for a software update pure greed from VM, glad you got it for free though, disgusting charging someone for a software update.
£106p/m you've been had mate.

That's much better, it's prob just me lol but i refuse to pay more than £70p/m for tv and broadband i just don't think tv is worth the cost it's just constant repeats and reality crap.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
any idea then we're getting the tivo 360 software for the tivo v6? Is the tivo 360 still not as good as the v6? Its missing a ton of apps?

I really like 360 and even my wife prefers it to the TiVo software
All4 is missing but a lot of the content is available via on demand anyway.
My5 has just arrived recently
If you have 2 boxes with harddrive it works a lot better than the TiVo system (subject to a strong connection)
HD channels are swapped out if your package has them in it and the SD channel removed so the EPG is less cluttered with duplicates.
Yes there are a few features that TiVo has that 360 doesn’t but it’s a lot more slick and smoother.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
There is a warning on the app before you trigger the upgrade that says that recordings and series links will be deleted. I'm pretty sure it's also in the instructions that come with remotes too:
https://www.virginmedia.com/help/vir...box-to-360-box
Quote:
- Please read these instructions first – keep the remote(s) in the box for now
- Watch any recorded shows before you upgrade (we can’t transfer them, and you deserve a duvet day). Just bear in mind your service will automatically update 5 days after this package arrived
- Start your upgrade by selecting upgrade to Virgin TV 360 from your Home screen - you will find the 360 App on the Home screen but you can also find within the Apps & Games folder.
- Follow the steps with your existing V6 remote until you’re asked to swap. Need a verification code? Enter: 847446
- Make sure you have the latest version of Virgin TV Go on your phone or tablet – just head to your app store

I was notified of this on numerous occasions throughout the process
As part of the sign up for 360 online
With the remote controls in the box
Even during the process there was a warning that ALL recordings and settings would be deleted, it gave an option to cancel at that point.
Someone has clearly given you the wrong info.
