V6 v's V360

I am currently using V6, but have been offered V360 through upgrade. Therefore is it better to change or just let sleeping dogs lie  😴 

  • I say stay.  I moved and wished that I hadn't.  V6 is much more user friendly especially when it comes to recording.  In my opinion 360 is more clunky.

    V6 > TV360 is no more an upgrade than moving between Apple & Android is. It is a conversion from one TV software platform to another.

    There have been numerous past threads discussing the differences, but V6 is an excellent recording product with a very good streaming option added on - although without the most recent app releases.

    TV360 is designed for the online-world from the ground up, with recording added for the UK market. If there's any specific aspects you're interested in, then do ask away - otherwise use the forum's search function and read through the multiple previous threads!

    Stay as you are. Its very much a downgrade as you'll lose many Tivo functions.

      VM are keen on it as it means they'll save money on Tivo licences  It's an 'upgrade' to their profits, nothing else.

  • I think Japitts is spot on, it's not an upgrade it is literally moving to a different format and the Apple/Android analogy is a very good one.

    I personally really like the 360 format, it just works for me and the way I watch TV. 

    I do get the criticisms from other users, but it's a personal choice.
