Hi SpacePhoenix,
The 360 doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the Tivo/V6, however I never used most of them so don't miss them, and unlike a number of users on the forums I'm happy with the switch to 360.
There's lots of useful info on how the 360 works on https://www.virginmedia.com/help/virgin-tv-360
Here's a list of the main differences between the boxes :-
It isn’t possible to transfer any data from the TiVo/V6 box to 360. This data will also be lost during the upgrade process for existing customers.
So you will lose series links and all recordings.
The 360 is integrated with BBC iPlayer and Amazon but not Netflix.
The radio channels no longer have channel numbers like on the Tivo/V6. On the 360 you press Home and then highlight Guide; you’ll see the radio app available in the bottom right of the screen. Alternatively, you can use voice search and say ‘radio’. (The 360 does carry the RadioLine app which carries hundreds of extra radio channels)
The 360 does not have a wish list however you can search for something using voice (e.g. ‘Movies with Matthew McConaughey’) and then manually save the result to your Watch list.
You can't filter by HD channels, although you can set up a Profile and just list HD channels on that profile.
Currently only the year of programs is displayed, and not the full date.
Each 360 remote pairs 1 to 1 with the box, it does not use infra-red (IR). This means you can only use one remote with a box and not multiple remotes, although you can buy an All In One or Harmony remote.
There is no undelete feature. Once a recording is deleted you will not be able to retrieve this recording.
You can't set the 360 to record new only, however you can select which series you want to start recording from in your series links, the box will record everything from that point onwards.
The 360 will record content in the definition of the channel you setup the series link on. If you want HD, ensure you check the channel details when setting up the series link and don't select the SD version
You can't set future recordings, ie those that aren't displayed in the EPG such as the next series of Doctor Who.
