At 7:37 it says 'this is the fan'. Spiderplant has previously said that our boxes don't use a fan (and not to let my cat sleep on it)
Can't say i've ever heard it using a fan, perhaps it's simply not utilised, but there to start using if boxes started overheating if the vents proved to be insufficient??

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
The V6 does have a very quiet fan. In my experience, you have to put your ear very close to hear it.

The older Tivos don't contain a fan. The V6 does, as I mentioned here

Still don't let you cat sleep on it though. The fur clogs the fan.

If it's in a bedroom, it's noticeable/ irritating imo. However the box can be hidden away in a drawer /cupboard as the RC does not need line of sight, which works for me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
Personally the noise I hear from the box is the hard drive spinning up etc, rather than the fan. So once it's running I tend to tune it out as it's a (mostly) constant noise.

Having said that, I just looked at the Channel Guides and the use (or not) of the + in columns suggests I may be wrong, and the Comcast companies are just doing things differently.

Interesting, I'm not sure if it states the reason for taking it apart (I was hoping it was to insert a larger disk), if it did I must have missed it.
The disk appears to be a laptop sized one rather than the standard pc type.

Prime Video
Virgin TV Edit are now advertising Prime Video as launching soon on Virgin TV
There’s now another reason to stay in-in with Virgin TV – Prime Video is coming to your all-singing, all-dancing V6 box! That means if you have an Amazon Prime subscription you’ll be able to enjoy fantastic Amazon Original shows like Good Omens and The Grand Tour, brilliant movies, incredible sport, and – for the first time this season – live Premier League football.
It’s available to all Virgin TV customers with a V6 box, powered by TiVo®. Simply sign up to Amazon Prime Video via their website, and you can log in on the box once the service has launched. And because Prime Video will be fully integrated into TiVo®, you can search without even going into the app. Just select Search & Discover from the Home menu and type in the name of the show or movie you’re after. Simples!
Stay tuned to Virgin TV Edit for more updates on Prime Video.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
Or if it's just Good Omens you're interested in, it was originally a BBC production that Amazon joined, so wait until later in the year and watch it on BBC2.
