Will really come into its own when the long promised Sky 4K content arrives. But all in, a very promising new platform.
4K movies have been added to Sky Movies so the content looks like it's on its way. The ability to adjust series link options was added by an update today to V4.29. You need to go into your all recordings list and hit the pencil icon. Some All4 content is there if you go to Catch Up and drop down the "AllChannels" list.

Thanks for this info. I’m still on 4.28 so will need to wait I guess.
I can see some movies with 4K tags, but not convinced it’s 4K content. Not sure whether HDR was part of the deal, but that’s definitely not there. Does anyone know if HDR content is coming on Sky Movies?

With VM it's all about the art of the con. V6 is 4K ready so they market the TV service as 4k in order to appear on the same level as SKY, when all that means is they have a dedicated 4K channel and BT sport ultimate, so 2 channels and they say 4K again to appear like for like with sky when it's not .
At least now it seems real 4K content that most people expect when they are sold 4K is being introduced on the tv360.
Probably because potential customers are now seeing through the marketting to the reality ie useless 4K that is not in everyday viewing.
It's like sky saying they have 1gb broadband because the wifi hub can transmit at 1gb.
Virgin have to up their game as they will find once openreach enable other companies to offer the BB speeds over 1 GB, they will see a much higher customer churn unless they are on a par with sky over their TV packages. Hence why they are attempting to address the last decade style and quality TV service
I checked pricing the other day and the difference in value to sky is becoming negligible , only main caveat is the BB speed presently although latency and downtime are becoming an issue and in some areas a major issue due to over subscription.
And the less I say about customer service at present the better!!
So proper 4K being provided all I can say is it's about time and thankfully I watch netflix and disney plus in 4k HDR from the tv apps. Perhaps now 4K is on virgin in sky movies I will revisit using the tv360 box more.
On the subject of Series Links and setting the box to record 'New' only (which many people are saying the box cannot do just yet), this pic states that the 360 will record all future episodes of a show when selecting a series on the channel :
Isn't this the same thing as selecting 'New', like you can on the V6?
These are the options you now get with V4.29 when rcording. They're under advanced when setting the recording or the pencil item in the recordings list if editing later:
