Moving from TiVo to V360 - still no migration plans

[JoshGrey]

hi all.

Just wanted to check to see if there's been any changes in moving from Tivo to Virgin 360, in particular;

• Transfer of series links between Tivo and v360
• Transfer of recordings
• the allowance of a "grace period" after V360 activation so you can watch any old shows and manually move series links over

Otherwise it's as much hassle to switch to Sky Q and recreate everything there...

You will never be able to do these things.

1) Transfer of series links between Tivo and v360

It is a totally different operating system owned by different companies. TiVO operates with separate boxes that are independent. Horizon works from a headend server system that drives the boxes & mobile/tablet access.

2) Transfer of recordings

Channel & content owners will not allow programmes to be transferred or copied. Horizon is capable of cloud recording, which would resolve this issue. However, there are still some content owners that are resisting its introduction.

3) the allowance of a "grace period" after V360 activation so you can watch any old shows and manually move series links over

The boxes are migrated, not replaced (the TiVO V6 becomes a Horizon V360 master box) through a firmware reload, which requires any hard disks to be reformatted. The older TiVO boxes still require a subscription & a connection to the coaxial cable in order to operate.
