I have to agree.
We were told it had all the features of V6, but 'better'.
Well, I have to strongly disagree.
It is a massive dumbing down of the V6 software.
1. There is no delete recovery.
2. There is no manual time recording facility
3. It records everything on a series, re-runs, repeats, different channels, etc.
4. You can no longer see when something was originally shown (ok a small issue).
When I originally was requested feedback I had 6 issues, but I never had any response from Virgin Media to my feedback (unsurprisingly).
Today, I was told by two advisers that I could revert to V6, but was passed by each to another department only (after re-repeating my issues) that I cannot revert.
Basically, I feel Virgin are conning customers into accepting an inferior product as an upgrade. As I was on the verge of leaving VM after decades as a Cabletel/NTL/Virgin Media customer and only persuaded to stay because of this fantastic improvement I feel that they've taken me as fool and treated me with contempt.
To say I'm unhappy is an understatement in the extreme.
