Waiting for 360 upgrades to be delivered

I had an email saying my TV box needs an upgrade so I ordered this on 28th July 2025 and had an email confirmation saying order may take up to 7 days. Since then I have heard nothing. My account says I do not have any outstanding orders so I can't track the delivery. I have tried an online chat but the chat box seemed to be programed to annoy as much as possible. The same response from the automated 150 phone line. I need help! I am waiting for a new 360 remote to upgrade my V6 box, and a mini  360 box and remote to replace an old Tivo box.

  • The new kit was delivered on Friday. I updated the V6 box to 360 with no major problems until I was showing my wife how the new remote works while watching  Coronation Street. She was trying it out when suddenly the picture suddenly went very pixalated and unwatchable. I got the blame for breaking the TV by doing something wrong, but after some testing and a lot of moaning we realised that it was a national problem that coincided with me testing the upgrade.

    I will replace my Tivo with the new Mini360 today and hope we don't have any more national  breakdowns at the same time!

    All traditional boxes record, it's just the latest Stream boxes which don't.

      Hi Geoff-Hay can I ask if you have successfully recorded anything yet I have an engineer coming tomorrow to take my TiVo box and install 360 and I am concerned all round that I will understand it all but worried it won't record I used it a lot on TiVo I am sure all will be fine and we will test it when engineer is here

        Yes Sally I have recorded a few things on the 360, it is easy to do and not a problem.

    If you like the Tivo software, you could have asked for a replacement V6 for your old Tivo.?  Once you go to the 360 Horizon software, there is no going back.
