How easy is it to upgrade to 360 from TiVo?

I understand that the upgrade from the V6 Box to 360 is straightforward, but how easy is it to upgrade from a Tivo box? I ask because I am an "oldie" and not particularly techie. Also does the Tivo box have to be returned? Thank you.

    TiVo's are hardware swapped, they are not capable of accepting the Horizon-software that drives TV360.

    TiVo's are being actively removed from VM's network and aren't normally expected back.

      I find it very difficult to raise a new query on this site. Has anything changed?

        Hi again hansi​ 

        You click on Start a Discussion at the top of the forum as shown in the picture below.

        Have you received the remote control to update the V6 through the post yet?

    If you are very unhappy with the Tivo and really want something different, go for the "upgrade". Otherwise, stay with what you know. 

  • Hi Hansi 👋 Welcome to the community forum! Thanks for posting. 

    There's a couple of different ways to upgrade from a TIVO to a TV360 box. 

    1) We arrange a 'Quickstart' delivery of the TV360 along with instructions on how to get this installed, and returns packaging for the TIVO. 

    2) We can arrange an engineers appointment to get the new equipment set up and installed for you. They can then also take away the TIVO in the appointment. 

    There's a bit more general information on the help page here 👉 https://www.virginmedia.com/help/tv/upgrade-to-360

    Just let us know what you think, and we can help arrange the upgrade with you based on which option you'd prefer! All the best. 🌞

  • I've just received my box to replace my Tivo box, but VM said they would post a remote through my letter box for the upgrade from V6 to 360, but nothing has arrived yet.
