V6 box upgrade to 360

[sportagegirl]

I have been offered an upgrade from v6 to 360. When this happens will I lose my existing recordings on my v6 box as I understand the upgrade to 360 is done through the options on the v6

Hi sportagegirl,

You will lose all recordings when switching to 360 because the hard drive gets reformated for the new software download.

You might need to do a search on here about any features you use because some are TiVo patented and are not available on the 360.

The move from V6 > TV360 is a complete reformat of your box's hard drive, and install of a totally new software platform which is fundamentally not TiVo.

Think of "upgrading" from Android to Apple or vice-versa and you're on the right lines. If you request a conversion, you're sent the new remote and then you follow the "upgrade now" app that's dropped into your V6 menus.
