We have not upgraded to the 360. A few features missing that the V6 has that are used too much. Anyway. Are Virgin retiring the 360 too? I fear that the box will fail at some point as we have had it for many years now. Will we just be given a stream box instead.
We also had someone from Netomnia at the door saying that Virgin are turning something off within the next 12 months or so...
Stick with what you've got that works for you. And never believe a salesman at your door.
Netomnia is now associated with BRSK I beleive ...many customers of VM are jumping ship and switching their custom there .. cost, better faster service.. better all round ..well worth checking out ..just saying
This doesn't help a Pay TV customer like the OP.
Although as VM are phasing out their TV service and going to streaming only, it does start to make it a comparable option.

V6 remain fully supported for fault replacements. Faulty TiVo's are still swapped for V6, and additional multiroom V6 remain available for existing TiVo & V6 customers.
The Sky Sports+ HD multiscreen app was launched on V6 last November, and the UKTV app also made available for V6 in recent months.
Marketing effort is very much focused on Stream, with TV360 available reactively.
The V6 and 360 only work on VM's legacy networks which VM is migrating from, so in time every Pay TV customer will have to use a streaming box. However that date is some years away for most.
If the VM box doesn't record, it's pretty pointless. I can get everything (legally, I hasten to add) via Fire TV stick for a fraction of the cost. Now Sports £20/month, Now Cinema £4/month and Now Entertainment £4/month with Boost £2/month and watch it in three different places. TNT Sports is the only thing that would cost more, but there isn't much I watch on there. Also my big bugbear with sports streams is they are delayed by 30 seconds whereas now the sports broadcasts are faster than terrestrial by a couple of seconds. Much to the annoyance of my neighbour :-D
