Your TV box needs a free update

I have received an email "Your TV box needs a free update" which tells me that "from 23 July BBCiPlayer will no longer be supported".  I don't want to change from a TIVO box to a TV360 box unless absolutely necessary.

If I don't change I will loose access to BBC iPlayer.  I am willing to loose BBC iPlayer but what other things will be lost if I don't change?

I understand that if I do change I will need WiFi.  Is that correct and would the router need to be on 24/7?

  • The TiVo box has already lost access to other features and content, and will continue to do so for the next couple of years. Anything new will only launch on 360 and Stream.  

    If you are happy to remain on TiVo that is fine, you were contacted because you watch iPlayer.  Just bear in mind that other features will continue to be removed as they become unsupported on this now 13 year old box.
