The ought to have done another pop up channel and televised this if they think it's going to be that much of a game changer.

Apparently they screen customers on social media and those with a high negative post count are considered too risky to have the V6 early on until all the bugs are 100% ironed out.

Not seen any mention of HDR but I suspect they are waiting for standardisation like a lot of manufacturers.... got to say kids app is certainly something that interests me, wasn't expecting that.

Is that powered by Filmflex or another provider like Wuaki? I guess it is films and TV so users can now get HBO content like Game of Thrones and Westworld via Tivo?

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

Surely most 4K TV's have Netflix and Youtube built in so what's the point of 4K on V6 if it's not for Sky Cinema, Sky Sports and/or BT Sports?
