You can have a maximum of 3 boxes on your account.

If you already have a V6 box, you will not receive a new box. Instead, the V6 box will receive a software update to convert the box (boxes) to Virgin TV 360.  You will ONLY receive new remote control(s) along with some helpful instructions explaining how you can trigger the software download.

If one of the boxes is an older TiVo box, you will be sent a new 360 Mini box to replace the older box. For example; if you have one V6 box and one TiVo box you will receive a new remote control to update the V6 box and one Mini box with a remote control to replace the Tivo box.

The 360 Mini box is only a replacement for the TiVo box, it is not a replacement for the V6. It is designed to connect to the V6 box (once it's upgraded to 360) in your home setup.

Any V6 boxes that you currently have will receive a software update which will upgrade the box to 360. Once you have received the new 360 remote(s), an app will appear on the main V6 homepage. Any TiVo boxes will be replaced with new Mini boxes.

The 360 Mini box has wireless internet (WIFI) however it still needs to be connected to a coxial cable to receive live TV as with all our TV boxes.

No - Virgin TV 360 will only be available for Virgin Media broadband customers with a minimum speed eligibility of 50Mb.

For V6 boxes, you will keep the box as you will simply upgrade your software to 360. For TiVo boxes, you will receive a 360 Mini box as a replacement and you can return the old box using the packaging/labels supplied.

Yes, the mini box supports exatly the same resolutions as the main box provided it is connected to a compatible TV.

No - It isn’t possible to transfer any data from the TiVo/V6 box to 360. This data will also be lost during the upgrade process for existing customers.

In order to have the best 360 experience, all boxes would need to upgrade to 360 at the same time. We cannot support 360 and TiVo on the same account.

Virgin TV 360 is a transformational viewing experience which is best experienced on an HD TV. Therefore, you will require an HD TV which has an HDMI port to connect.

You will be able to enjoy all the most popular apps including Netflix, You Tube, iPlayer and Amazon Prime Video.  Currently the All4 and My5 apps are not available but there are loads of shows available from these providers in the Catch Up and box sets menus.

Yes - the TV Go app will continue to work with 360 and includes new features exclusive to Virgin TV 360 customers, such as setting and watching recordings from your device and remote control functions so the old remote control app is no longer available if you have Virgin TV 360.

This is expected, the remote control app is specifically for controlling TiVo or V6 boxes. For Virgin TV 360 customers there is no need for two apps, as the control app functionalities are now within the TV Go App.

Hit the mic button on the new remote and tell the box what to do. You can search for a show across live TV, catch up, box sets and control the box from the remote by using commands such as "fast forward 5 minutes" to skip through adverts on recordings, "rewind" and "open guide" to navigate to that specific menu. Voice is the often the quickest way to find content and access your recordings.

No - As we want to provide our customers with the best viewing experience available, 360 boxes have a new feature called HD override. This means that if HD channels are included in your TV package, your SD version of the channel will automatically be replaced with the HD channel. As this means that the HD channel will appear where you previously may have seen SD channel, you won't be able to find the HD channel in its old spot. It isn't missing, it just appears earlier in the list.
