Time will tell whether Virgin have rushed their new box out so wait 6 months and l will give you a blow by blow whether that has proven to be the case.:)

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

I think it's documented that the V6 was due to be released at the turn of this year whilst Sky Q's launch was brought forward from Summer 2016 to February 2016 in response to BT's 4K box launching back in August 2015.
Whether the V6 launched on its scheduled date has fewer, more or about the same number of bugs as Sky Q launched in advance of its original scheduled release date I can't say.

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

Now you are trying to put words in my mouth , I've never claimed the V6 has been rushed out quite the opposite it seems a nice hardware upgrade.

My point is some of the V6 early adopters are experiencing the teething problems that those early adopters of Sky Q and the Youview next gen UI did.

Why would that make a difference UHD football only launched in August 16 anyway. The Telegraph talked about Sky Q as early as July 15 and speculated then an announcement could come within weeks.

As for problems as I've said the V6 seems a good box my point was teething problems are to be expected with all new technology. Both boxes are a huge upgrade and now offer true multiroom flexibility.

Have you listened to yourself recently, talk about a VM apologist.

So according to you

wi-fi is so flaky that you can't have TWO boxes on it at once...

it's the tv's fault that the V6 software is buggy as hell...wonder how VM got the software from the telly to affect the V6?

Just accept the fact they rushed it out without proper testing.

Good grief you really don't know Spiderplant do you? as he has been on here longer then l can remember and one thing he will always do is give unbiased helpful advice to whoever needs it.

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

I know myself as a software writer that is is almost impossible to fully test code before release. Even a rigorous software review can still miss things

To say it's fool proof underestimates the ingenuity of fools.

Sometimes an unusual sequence of events can expose that horrid latent bug. I'm sure that Spiderplant and his colleagues are doing their best.

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

Don't be ridiculous, OR. I'm sure that spiderplant is right in his diagnosis, and by the way, if you expect new technology to be without glitches, you need to be in the real world.

Oh, and don't be an early adopter.

Incidentally, this advice comes free, and with no obligation. :)

I'll have to remember that one. Ingenious!

100% with you on spiderplant's input. He is a star on this forum, as is Ben Mcr.

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

Power save was off after experiencing the starting up fault.

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

So much for saving the planet if everyone is advised to turn off power saving on their boxes....

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

What does power save actually do anyway? If power saving is off and you put the box into standby. Does it just act as if the box is in power save anyway?

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

It saves power.

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

Nope, I have no personal knowledge of Spiderplant.

All I can go by is his/her posts on here.

Every time a problem is raised it's *always* someone else's fault and *NEVER* VM's

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

I think you will find it's an explanation, rather than an excuse.

Time to get over yourself, methinks.

Re: Please document any V6 issues here.
 

+1. Well said sir.
