Hi Carley,
I don't know when it upgraded as I don't really pay attention to that, kids are always on the Playstation or watching Netflix (TV app, not via Virgin) etc, so I assume it just downloaded and upgraded in the background. I just had an email informing me I needed to upgrade my box and it went to the Virgin Media site where I followed instructions. I receieved my new box sometime later. My V6 box stopped working. I tried restarting from the mains and just keeps coming up with the Welcome screen and the goes blank, nothing else happens. The TV just displays a message stating the device is off and to power it on,
The new 360 box arrived instructions said to replace my existing Tivo box as the V6 box should have automatically upgraded itself, and I there were two remotes in the box. The new 360 box is now connected and I can access apps and sky movies etc, but the normal channels aren't working and displays the following messiage:
Channel Failed CS2004
We're currently unable to show this channel.
Please check your cables, reboot and then try again.

So now I have a V6 box that doesn't work and the new 360 box that only lets me access apps and on-demand content (sky movies etc).
