You're not alone, the 360 is a step down in many ways, however you are very unlikely to be able to swap back as VM are graudally going to migrate everyone over (the TiVo software on the V6 is developed by a third-party and software on the 360 is developed in house and used by Liberty Global companies around the world).
Some of the missing features are as follows; Wishlists (where you can set the box to record programs on certain subjects or featuring certain people), undelete, series link+, series link manager, suggestions, setting of series links for programs not in the current TV guide, ethernet control, keyboard support via USB, switching between tuners with constant buffering, skip-back on fast-forward, quickplay, default recording options, cancelling individual recordings from a series link, multi-channel series links, radio channels allowing recording of radio, separation of recordings between boxes, watching recordings when internet is not available and probably a few others I've forgotten.

Blimey, I hate it even more now.
I also think the picture quality isn't quite as good as my old V6 box.
It's a poor state of affairs when supposedly upgrades are a step backwards, oh well, still waiting for my reply.
