Do I have to move to Sky Sports+ and TV360?

I am not seeing anything which I want in Sky Sports+ and a lot of things I don't want in Virgin TV 360 so can I just carry on as I am or will be forced to do SS+ and TV360 as some point? Thanks

    I think it's inevitable at some point as VM won't want to support two different platforms (and keep paying TiVo for a license), they definitely seem to be ramping up the push to get more people to change so suspect it may not be too much longer. I guess the big holdup may be people on TiVo boxes without a VM internet connection, as both the V6 and 360 need the VM connection, so they either need to change that or lose those customers when they ditch the old TiVo boxes. 

    I left VM earlier this year as didn't want to get stuck in another 18 month contract as I imagine the switch would have occurred before the end but I could be wrong.
