Don't want to lose features of V6
I'm being pressured by Virgin into changing to 365 from my V6 box. I like the features of the V^ box such as Wishlists which I understand I will lose. What other features will I lose?

The following linked thread contains posts comparing the two boxes along with what you'll lose and gain and workarounds to achieve some of the same functions, and a second link which also lists some of the additional apps and FAST channels availoable on the 360.

My check has not been exhaustive, but from a very quick sample - I can only find one FAST channel listed on that page that my V6 doesn't have.
VM have a policy of encouraging migrations to TV360, so repeated emails and marketing material all geared towards this end are of no surprise. Emails to this end can be easily ignored if you wish to remain on V6.
V6 runs TiVo-software which is recording-centric, and has streaming added on. TV360 runs Horizon-software which is very online-centric with recording retrofitted for VM-UK. VM will naturally highlight benefits of TV360, but will not readily do the opposite - for obvious reasons.
Just opt out of marketing, then you won't be bothered by any of this guff.
