Now have Netflix on our bedroom TV also which is a bonus.

Still need to test the recording sharing between boxes etc but so far I am very pleased, well worth £114 as it'll stop me throwing the remote at the TV in frustration :-)

As most people agreed, no issue what so ever connecting to my ethernet switch rather than moving the SuperHub etc.

As an aside they look much better in real life. The pictures make it look quite bulky but in fact it is small.

Friendly installer arrived on time (and was patient as we did not hear the doorbell first time!) and got everything set up quickly.

One question - I have gone only to copy the Series Links etc to one of the new boxes... It said it would take 30 mins to appear but they have not yet. Is that normal?
Same here, 2 V6 boxes installed today (ordered last year - 31st Dec to be precise)

Minor wobble with install window, but engineer did the job (hope wife gave him a cuppa as I was on a course)

Been hammering both boxes with recordings - only problem so far was downstairs box crashed when I tried to watch a recording from upstairs box - really hope this feature works as I hate sitting upstairs to watch.

Can I watch a recording from upstairs box when wife is watching live TVs upstairs or even a different upstairs recording?

Bit disappointing I cannot watch live to on my iPad via 3G connection as I could with sky.

Can I download a recording to my iPad as you can with SkyQ?


Overall impression - good quality, responsive box.
