No one definitely knows the pricing or content yet so it's hard to compare the V6 and Sky Q.

It does, a bit further down.

To add to spiderplants comments, I've seen posts by the VM Facebook team telling customers the V6 will be released by the end of the year.
Make of that what you will

I have had it confirmed 3 times from 3 people, including a manager involved in the testing, there was a meeting last week sky will not give any 4k material at the current time, but in 2018 it might change, but our sky movies and sports keeps increasing

If they work for Virgin Media they will be under NDA's agreements in their working contract so they would be very unwise to reveal anything about when it is going to be released.

Yes, that's what I've been thinking too. Certainly heard no reports on here of anyone testing a V6 box!

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Sky has no UHD channel , when the Premier league games are on they can be reached by the red button or via the Sport - Ultra HD menu. Sky Boxsets and Movies UHD content is only available from On Demand.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

Correct but sky won't be making any 4K content available for on demand and also requests for sky cinema and sky sports app to include to download to device was rejected by sky

If in Honest MB. I lost interest in Virgin, they will tell us nothing about the new box, no specs, features nothing but they want is to be interested with a picture

Information from a trusted source says the 4K UHD sky content won't be added to virgin media on demand, but don't worry virgin have a wealth of 4K and unlike sky will cost extra
1. YouTube 4K maybe not on launch day ( also on sky)
2. Netflix but 4K will cost £7 a month V6 discount
3. Some Sky movies currently on sky on demand will appear for 2 days rental for £4.99
4. Virgin movies UHD between £6.99 and £9.99
That on top of any installation costs and any TiVo fee, think I'll stick with original TiVo. Also I can already get YouTube 4K via my TV and Netflix 4K

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
This so called trusted source of yours hasn't really got a clue has he ,
YouTube is available on Sky however not in UHD so basically only the same as the current VM Tivo.
Sky Movies is a subscription service and as a such won't be available on a pay per view basis no matter what you've been told.
Why not wait until an official press release from Virgin Media.

All fitted alongside my Tivo box and connected to an Oled TV. Took around an hour.

That's a pretty packed shelf unit you've got there.
Mine's only got the VHD box, a Sony DVD recorder with HDD and a modulator. The SHUB1 is banished behind some drapes because of the disco lights.
