Virgin 360 Alexa Skill

[davewillo]

I took part in the original Virgin 360 pilot scheme. As part of my feedback, I asked if there were plans to allow the V360 box (or in my case, a V6 box with software update) to be controlled by Alexa or another digital assistant. Virgin responded that it was planned to be done, however, there is still no sign of this happening. 

Does anyone know if this is likely to happen? VM seems to be behind the curve in terms of their tech - only 2 UHD channels, no HDR support, no Dolby Atmos, still struggling to release a WiFi 6 router, let alone a 6E one.

I thought that the great innovator Sky where the future is brighter would have had alexa support by now, but even they don't. Agreed though that hiopefully VM will adopt this in the near future.

 VM seems to be behind the curve in terms of their tech - only 2 UHD channels, no HDR support, no Dolby Atmos, VM do have HDR support, for instance some sport on BT Sport Ultimate.  Both The Avengers and Ant man, to name but two, are available HDR and Dolby Atmos on Disney Plus

still struggling to release a WiFi 6 router, let alone a 6E one. The hub 5 which was released in December 2021 is wifi 6
