Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
As a customer with a foot in both camps having a sky Q Silver, virgin broadband, telephone and a Tivo, I have to say am disappointed with the V6, yes its 4K but only for YouTube and netfllix I get that on my Samsung smart tv. Virgin should be negotiating carriage deals for before releasing a 4K capable box to its customers

£299 for a tablet to watch tv. WOW. Game changer.

I'm on VIP - £50 is a lot better than I though it would be, great news.

Sky Q was launched without any 4K content, and it took months before any appeared as far as I'm aware and also required a software update. V6 will launch with access to Netflix 4K from day one, and I'm sure that there will be additional 4K deals coming next year. But at the moment most of the UK generated 4K content is from Sky and BT, who have their own 4K services that they want to use that content to promote. |

Because that content is Sky and BT exclusive as far as I'm aware.
Virgin Media don't have any option of showing it as Sky and BT want to keep it for their own services. |
Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
I saw in a few posts above that other 4K programming would be coming soon, so I guess they are working on it.

According to David Bouchier:
"Do we see a significant demand sitting here in 2016 for a large amount of 4K programming by the majority of our subscriber base? No we don't. We would quite happily put the 4K football matches on if we felt that this was something that our customers were saying." VM, I want 4K football matches, and I want it now (well, when V6 box actually launches)! |

The last one has proved to be a load of rubbish and keeps failing because its 2nd hand and virgin keeps putting suspicion on me... in lounge had 2 this year so far! original one lasted since launch in 2012, and other new box has also been nothing but reliable. |

And how much extra per month would you be willing to pay for 4K Football, because there is no way I can see that it would be an inclusive addition to any of the current bundle options.
