Although I have around 14 months left on my current contract using Virgin 360 Box which is fine by the way, I get the feeling that these boxes might be phased out eventually to be replaced by Streaming Boxes. I also understand you cannot record on Streaming but have access to apps such as ITVX which carries previous transmissions of programmes such as soaps. Anyone aware of this?
If you want to record, you'll need to keep the 360 box. There's nothing official about closing them down, but that seems to be the way it's going.
New customers only get a streaming box, but at the moment they can pay an extra £50 for a 360. If they are on the very new full fibre connection then it's streaming only.
Just to add existing coaxial broadband only customers (like me) are only being offered the streaming box these days (for the record I am sticking with my ancient Humax box).
V360s require the conventional copper coaxial cable systems to operate. These are being replaced with full fibre, so when you eventually migrate to fibre, the V360 box will be replaced with Stream.
