I recently completed VMs application for update of tv box and have received a controller through post but no mention of when box will be supplied. 
How do I find out when box is due?

    If you have a V6 box then you will not receive a new box, the 360 software is just installed onto the existing box. You will lose all recordings, series links and a number of features, so make sure you watch anything you want to and make a note of any series links you want to keep (though you will struggle to set them up as the 360 box only allows recordings to be set up for programs currently in the TV guide).

    If you have an older TiVo box (curved top) then you should have received the new box and remote at the same time.

      Seems it was a TV V6 box

      "Application" was response to emailas below says bits and bobs in post.

       

      Just a heads up that the Virgin TV box you currently have is using old software, which means you aren’t getting the most out of your services.

      The good news is, we can upgrade you to a new Virgin TV 360 box at no extra cost.

      Choose how you upgrade

      Sign in to My Virgin Media using the button below and request an upgrade. We’ll send you some bits and bobs in the post and guide you through the setup – no need to book an engineer visit.
      or
      Head to the ‘Apps and Games’ section on your telly box, select ‘Upgrade now’, then follow the steps on the screen. After that, we’ll send you everything you need in the post.

      It may take up to 7 days to process your order after you request the upgrade.
