Do you know the killer Virgin TV 360 feature?

I switched to Virgin TV 360 and was never very happy with it. No smart search by actor/director, no recycle bin to fish deleted programs from.

I'd previously tried the voice feature and was very impressed at how accurate the voice recognition was. I didn't see any real use for it.

The other day I saw this Sun news story on my phone

It's a great feature and you do start to learn how long a break is in a certain series so you can the instruct the 360 to skip perfectly, e.g. The Great British Bake Off is four minutes exactly for a break whereas Sky Arts Portrait Artist Of The Year varies between three and over four minutes.

Obviously, I have now revealed the viewing quality threshold in my house!

Best keep this feature quiet though else the advertisers will be withdrawing their funding!😁

Nice. So can Virgin fast forward rewind pause and record a whole series?
