It's a completely different UI to the V6, so you should be able to tell the difference!

If you're updating from the V6, have you follow the install app instructions after getting your new remotes.

The TiVo box can't take 360 software, so I'm guessing you did have a V6... check here for pictures of the 3 boxes,

But otherwise as per Ben.... 360 is completely different software to the TiVo platform which drives the TiVo & V6 boxes.

If you have an older TiVo box you should have had a delivery of a new box and remote.

Customers with a V6 box just get the remote as they've already got the right box and it can get the new 360 firmware downloaded.

What was the notification you got to say it had gone live?

Hi PipTy,

You will receive or should have received a new voice activated remote control.

Once you receive that can start the process to change the V6 from a TIVO interface to the new Horizon (360) interface.

Once you've received your new remote there should be an app  "Upgrade to Virgin TV 360 now" either on your Home screen, or in the All Apps folder

There should be either  a leaflet included with the new remote, or instructions printed on the inside of the box the remote came in.

Picture below showing what to do.

You will be getting a new remote in the post shortly then along with instructions of how to switch over.

Remember to watch everything recorded before you do so and also make a note of series links. These don't transfer over.

ok thanks will wait for the new remote - bit of a rubbish roll out! Hope the product is better than the hype!
