TV Upgrade

[Roryk]

Can anyone let me know if I upgrade to TV 360 from a V6 box will I definitely maintain access to Rte channels (I'm in N Ireland), including the ability to record and use series link? Thanks

Hi @Roryk 

We can't really answer that question as these forums are for VM UK customers. I would imagine that if the RTE channels are available on a V6 box then they will still be available on the TV360 boxes in Ireland.

You should contact https://www.virginmedia.ie/contact/ 

There's an online chat messenger service available on that page, or you can call them on 1908

A choice to convert from V6 > TV360 makes no difference whatsoever, to your channel availability.

TV360 allows series link & recording, but they do work fundamentally differently to the series linking on a V6

Thanks for the quick reply. N Ireland is in the UK, but we get access to 3 Irish channels at present. I don't want to lose them if I upgrade. I am with Virgin Media UK.

I checked with virgin support and I couldn't get a straight answer. They weren't sure if I would be able to record rte channels due to licensing issues? Can anyone verify this? Thanks

That's no huge surprise.

I refer you to my previous post!!

The live broadcast channels you receive are dependent on your channel package, not the equipment you receive it on. There is a difference between V6 & V360, but this only relates to streamed “fast” channels & third party apps. The RTE channels & TG4 are from broadcast reception (you are actually watching a rebroadcast of the Belfast local Freeview terrestrial service piped through VMs kit.
