    Good to know, I’m out of contract this weekend so will hold off to see if there’s any new customer deals coming.

    Apparently, they are not doing any new deals on the new box so you have to stick with the awful horizon box if you want a deal.

    I'm an existing customer and I got a deal with them for the new box.

    Interesting, it wasn’t the €10 off pm was it? I’ve spoke to them twice now and they wouldn’t provide any deal on the new box for existing. I just know when they launch to new customers that they’ll do a deal.

    I got €10 off PM for the main box and €5 off PM for the mini box for 12 months, not great but I am now paying less than I was when I was on Horizon and I get a new and hopefully better box.

    You can do most stuff just using the Voice Control on the 360 remote.

    BBC2,Saved (Recordings),Netflix and on and on and it will go directly to your choice.

    Just onto Virgin and as I am in a contract it would be €30 more per month to get the box. Asked if I want to swap existing Horizon and no I would just get replacement Horizon

    Eh No

    I'm beginning to think I was being ripped off with the old box!! :eek:

    My overall price is coming down a small bit with the new box and faster BB.

    Were you an existing TV customer? They wouldn't give me that discount as I already had TV. Only available to BB only customers who upgrade to TV360.

    My box arrived today at lunch so I had time to set it up I have to say I am very Impressed with it. All I need now is for my VM app to update and I am laughing.

    To anyone with the 360 box and the new app. Does the app cast to the mini boxes at all or just the main box?

    Hi guys,
    Has anyone gone from using the Sky Q UI to the new VM box?
    I know that generally sky is light years ahead of the pack when it comes to the snappyness and UX of their hardware. Ive been using the Playstation Sky Go App above getting Horizon, so with moving to a new home Im weighing up VM vs Sky

    Is anyone having a problem with the remote. Mine just stops working often and I can only get it going by taking out the batteries or restarting the box. Note this happens on the main box and the other ones so it is not a physical fault with the remote or box.
    Tx

    I assume you can only stream live tv from the app to the main box too.

    Are the uprade €10 discount offers gone for the 360 box from the website? It says in the small print these are available up to 30 Sept, but it's not coming up in the checkout anymore.

    Contract up in two days

    Its kind of ridiculous that they are charging extra for the new box. At the end of the day this new box brings them up to par with Sky and Sky are offering services cheaper than Virgins current deals for the horizon box.

    Do they not do market research before they set their prices like. :rolleyes:

    EDIT: Sky's current offer of Superfast Broadband and Ultimate TV for €60pm for 12 months on a 12 month contract is such a better deal. Thats for the Sky Q Box too.

    It doesn't bring them up to par with Sky though. There's no UHD sport or anything in 4k so they've bumped up their prices to land 5 years behind Sky.

    Will they honour that if you already have 3 of the services? Previously you didn't need to lie and could get the discounted price! Must check on the mobile site, that had different pricing on it before as well...

    Yes you can stream live tv to the main box only, not sure the benefit though

    It would make more sense to stream it to the mini box. Anyway.

    Have Virgin Media stated when the 360 boxes will be standard for all new customers? Interested to know when they plan on retiring the Horizon box.
