    Fundamentally TV360 & V6 are totally different TV platforms, with many substantial differences between them - you cannot mix boxes on the same subscription and must either convert both or convert neither.

    Opinions vary wildly and TV360 is a very "marmite" system, there are pros & cons both ways.

    If you want SkySports+ now, or would like Disney+, Paramount+ or AppleTV, then you're likely better off on TV360. On the flip-side, I still can't work out where the current Sky Sports HD multi-screen (as used on F1 & tennis) stops & "Sky Sports+" takes over - and the current multiscreen is coming to V6.

    If you're a heavy user of recordings & the series-link/watchlist functionality on V6, you will struggle with TV360. But there's plenty of arguments on both sides and just as plenty of past threads!
