Virgin 360 - bag of **bleep**e?

[mikeplow1961]

Upgraded last night. Either I am incapable of working out how to use it or it's a bag of crap.

Let me get this straight. If I go to guide and search for, say, Repair Shop, click on it it shows me all catch up eps but no option to record it/series link it?

To record it I have to find it in the guide, then click record?

And I can no longer use a wishlist with names of shows or films I'd like to record 'if' they show up in the guide at some point?

How is that any improvement! I want to downgrade back to what I had!

So you didn't do any research on this forum, if you had all your questions would have been answered.

360 only allows you to record programmes that are scheduled to broadcast in the next 14days and listed in the EPG, that's correct.

Wishlists are unique to TiVo, that's also correct.

Conversions to 360 are entirely voluntary at this time, and a search of this forum would find plenty of discussion on the relative merits of both platforms. No customers are being forced to convert, but once migrated you can't go back. A conversion to 360 is a one-way trip.
