We know a new set-top box is coming in 2016, and that it will bring 4K content to Virgin Media. This will allow users to download shows such as 'Game of Thrones' and 'Billions' to own. The new Virgin TV V6 box will be available for £99.95 to any Virgin Media customers on a 'Mix' bundle or higher.

When it first appeared on the scene, Virgin’s TiVO was revolutionary. It offered a more attractive, more flexible and powerful alternative to Sky+, with triple tuners and a range of clever features. But time moves on, and over time Virgin’s continual software updates have caused its once-usable recorder to become slow and tremendously sluggish.

The Virgin Media TV V6 box is aimed at remedying that, and at the same time staking a claim in the multiroom TV gold rush, alongside Sky Q. The question is, has Virgin Media succeeded? Can it persuade those customers who might have been thinking about abandoning ship to stay? I’ve had the chance to go hands-on with the new box to find out. READ NEXT: Virgin Media TV V6 box: Hardware Virgin Media didn’t only announce a new TV box when it unveiled its new offering recently. The Mad Capsule Markets Discography Download. There was the new TellyTablet, revamped user interface and new apps as well.

Calatorie La Ixtlan Pdf To Word. I’ll address those later in this review but, for now, I’m going to focus on the heart of the system: the new Virgin Media TV V6 recorder box. Developed by Liberty Global for Virgin Media, it’s smaller, squarer and a touch more boring-looking than the old TiVO machine, but it offers far more in terms of capabilities.

The headline feature is its ability to record six shows at once and watch a seventh live. For comparison, the Sky Q 2TB box can currently 'only' record four while you watch a fifth, although a software upgrade in 2017 will upgrade it to six concurrent shows.

There’s also support for 4K Ultra HD programming, both via broadcast and streaming TV services, with HDR coming in a future software update. There’s a fair bit of future-proofing here, then; the main concern I have is that the TV V6 box has only 1TB of storage where the premium Sky Q box can have 2TB. This means it can only store up to 100 hours of Full HD content.

You’re going to run out of space fast, especially if you start recording 4k movies. Beleaguered users of the current TiVO box (once the cream of the premium TV crop but now frustratingly slow and sluggish), will appreciate the box’s newfound turn of speed, though. Virgin says it’s ten times faster than the old box; in fact it feels a lot faster than that. During my hour-long demo I was able to navigate around the system in double quick time. Every press of a button on the remote control was responded to instantaneously, while long lists of recorded shows flicked by without pause. It’s a huge improvement on the ageing TiVO and will be reason alone for existing customers to upgrade.
