I've had the new 360 boxes (1 main + 2 mini) for a couple of weeks and here are my findings:
360 box
Pros
Cons
I only wish I'd posted something like this before I 'upgraded' as I would have thought twice. Hopefully if someone sees this post before they take the plunge then they can make a more informed decision.
Are there anymore differences/comparisons that you have noticed?

360 box
Pros
- Has a slick, fast menu system
- Great remote control with voicecontrol features (plus links with my ancient sony soundbar!)
Cons
- Only has 4.5 mins pause time
- Can only rewind live TV for 4.5 mins
- Reduced recording capacity vs V6 combined boxes (only main box has capacity to record 1Tb)
- Recordings do not autodelete once the HD is full. You have to manually delete or you will miss your new recordings

....to be honest, you really should have done some research before jumping ship to the 360 - there are numerous threads on here both from people who like it and those who don't. I would have advised to read these threads and then make a uniform choice based on everything.
I read all that's going on in here to keep up with the news - for me, at the moment, I'm simply not convinced its the right move just yet......

Hi, I didn't even know this forum existed until VM themselves tweeted a reply, saying that I should direct any product feedback here. I can't remember upgrading any technology in the past and it then being less able (I appreciate and expected bugs are a way of life with early adoption...)
Was it not reasonable to expect that the standard features would be improved and not regressed?
