The boxes are shown at https://www.virginmedia.com/care/tv-fault/which-tv-box - TiVo & V6 both run TiVo-firmware
On the assumption that live TV is unaffected and working fine, try pausing a live channel for a short time and watch it delayed. This is also a recording, and uses the hard drive in the same way.
If this is pixellated and breaks up, you have confirmation of a hard drive fault. Follow the usual faults reporting route, you should get a tech visit with a box replacement. Faulty TiVo's are replaced with V6 as a matter of course - providing you have VM home broadband.

Thanks for the link. From the photo the V6 and 360 look identical though, only the remotes give a clue so I will have to conclude I have a V6 box.
I'll report the fault, thanks.

Not relevant for this scenario, a failing hard drive is a failing hard drive, but...
You're right V6 & TV360 use the same hardware - the difference is the software. V6 runs TiVo-software and has the TiVo-logo in the top-right corner of the menu system next to the video preview screen. TV360 runs Horizon software and doesn't.
