Just got a mail from Virgin about doing the trial for the new V6 box. I know it was asked plenty of times on the Virgin Forum when they had reps here. I get there are people with issues with Virgin but at least its progress.

What about saved programmes on existing box-are they lost?

Yes you start with a blank hard drive. Any recordings or series links will have to be setup again from scratch

Anybody notice if you have a program on series link it records the repeats as well,so you have to let it record them and delete them later,the Horizon box allowed repeats on the planner to be deleted before recording, but the v360 will record them again.If you try to delete it will delete the series,bit disappointing considering you could clear them individually on the Horizon box and not lose the series.Otherwise huge improvement over the horizon box.
Tip: if you use the channel up and down buttons when using the guide you can skip page by page rather than having to go channel by channel.

"If you try to delete it will delete the series,bit disappointing considering you could clear them individually on the Horizon box and not lose the series."

Missing this big time. For example say I had Home and Away set for every day just in case I didn't get home if I did get home before show started I would just go and delete that day's set recording and series link would continue.

I don't think it should be recording repeats. Did you delete say Episode 1 and then it recorded the repeat or is it still recording repeats even when the episode is on your box in Saved?

Yes,if I record and look at an episode on series link,then delete it,it will record the repeat episode.There is no option to delete individual episodes coming up you know you've seen.It will delete the entire series from the planner.A backwards step from the Horizon box which as you say can delete individual episodes coming up you know you've already seen.So you have to let it re-record episodes and then delete them.

Delta2113

Don't delete episodes and your box should ignore the repeats. It's picking up the repeats because you are deleting the episode.

Hopefully they can have an update in a new software version so you can for example highlight a 'thrash can' beside just one episode in your planner.

Anyone change over from Sky Q? how are you finding the new V6 box?

My contract with sky is up next month, I already have virgin broadband so I might change over and give this new box a go.

Delta2113

He has virgin broadband so would not be a new customer. However would this be considered an upgrade? He would have to make sure he gets a Virgin Tv 360 box and not a Horizon box sent out.

They emailed me offering the upgrade to VIRGIN TV 360!

'As a Virgin Media customer you get an exclusive opportunity to upgrade to this new cutting edge TV platform.'

All in all a big leap forward from Horizon. The remote automatically paired with my Samsung for power & volume but the navigation arrows still don’t work for the smart part of the TV....does anyone know if it’s possible to achieve a more comprehensive pairing?

Delta2113

No you won't get anymore than power and volume.

kitsy13

Mine was delivered last Tuesday and with work stuff etc I didn't set it up till Friday evening, have been waiting years for it to become available..Am very impressed with it so far, ya don't need any new cabling, just lift the old horizon out, connect the coax to the back and the old hdmi aswell if you wish..the only new thing I used outta the box was the new power cable..ya pair it to your white virgin hub and its set up 10 to 15 minutes later

If your remote batteries are running low you get a message in top right hand corner. Don't know how scientific it is.

Sky have had this for years. Great to hear it's so good but it's only matching sky Q which has been around a few years now.

It also allows to switch the TV source.

Can anyone directly compare this with Sky Q?

Don't care about volume but will my Logitech Harmony be able to power up the new V6 box? I guess I'm asking if it will accept power on and off via IR?

When i check their website on my computer to upgrade.

I get the following prices

98 euro for 50 plus stations 500 broadband etc

104 euro for 100 plus stations 500 broadband etc

But when i check on their website on my phone i get

82 euro for 50 plus stations 500 broadband etc
94 euro for 100 plus stations 500 broadband etc

10 euro off for 12 months

Anyone else see this offer?

GHOST MGG

10 euro off is for new customers afaik..and the virgin media site probably has cookies on your pc that why you are seeing the higher price,presuming you are already a customer

bricky06

Strange... On desktop and I am seeing that if I select that I am interested in upgrading both TV and internet then 'The Bigger Bundle' is €98pm but if I go back and say that I am only interested in upgrading TV then the same bundle is €88pm with a €10 off for 10 months offer.

Is this the V6 box that we've had in the UK for a few years now?
I have the Harmony One (IR based) and it works fine for all functions that I'm aware of.

No, it's a different box it seems. Looks the same but not actually the same hardware.

I tried using the UK V6 and the UK Tivo box and neither work

Just wondering for those who have signed up online, the €10 off doesnt appear to come off the bundle price automatically. It does have a place to put in a voucher code, is this required? Or how does one access the €88 pm deal? Thanks (tried to get VM but long wait times!!)

Answering my own question, I've been advised as I have an existing 250mb broadband and TV already I don't get the €10 off per month upgrade. Is this really correct? I would be upgrading BB to 500mb but not tv. Anyone get this offer with the 10e off pm?

I have 250Mb & Mix TV and got the €88 price, see my last comment - seems to be the way you go in to it.

Thanks! Did you get the 500mb broadband with your upgrade then?

Clitheroekid

I signed up on launch date before this €10/month discount was available. Rang up yesterday after the discount became available, and was given same spiel.

I've now placed a new online order upgrading to 500Mbps BB and adding all of the HD channels, as this works out at only €2/month extra because this "upgrade" is eligible for the €10/month discount.

I'll likely downgrade once again to 250Mbps and the lesser TV package once the €10/month discount runs out.
