360 - I want to get rid of it

Is there any possibility of reverting from the awful 360 to the V6 package I enjoyed until this morning? Or am I stuck with it?

Thanks.

    Have you tried going to Settings > Accessibility and tried the High contrast setting, there is also an Enlarged TV Guide setting, you can also press 555 on the guide.

    There is no going back to V6.

    I'm finding 360 an abomination. 

    Half of my recordings used to be radio - that's no longer available. 

    I read film reviews and used to add them to my Wishlist - there's no Wishlist available. I can't add old films either, all of which means I have to keep a notepad going, and read the Radio Times every day. 

    The Guide is not coloured to RNIB recommendations, and I can't see the time-slot times.

    And to cap it all, Virgin have put up the price.

      Hi Anne72,

      There are a number of different options which may be beneficial to yourself including High contrast, Enlarged TV guide, and Voiceover guidance, if you go to Settings (the cog wheel icon) and then click on Accessibilty.

      Further details available <here>

      V360 runs on a TV platform called Horizon. This is the property of VMs new owners, who are a far larger international cable operator. VM therefore has had no option but to accept the change.

      1) Wishlists are a TiVO exclusive patent. It will not be added to Horizon because of this.

      2) Carrying broadcast radio on cable is now unique in the UK. Europe has not carried it since digital switchover in 2000. Horizon has been around since 2012 in the rest of Europe, & with no requirement to carry or record radio since 2000 it is not going to be re-engineered into the platform just to please us.

      No and yes. I will try the High Contrast tomorrow.  Larger size cuts off too much to make the Guide any use. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
