I don't have either a V6 or 360 (a V6 box can be upgraded to 360 software with just a new remote sent out) so I am presuming an actual 360 has a HD.

Sky Sports + HD multiscreen functionality is exactly the same on V6 (running TiVo-software) & TV360 (running Horizon software)

For others commenting on the difference between V6 & TV360, the hardware is exactly the same. V6 runs TiVo-software, TV360 runs Horizon-software.

Horizon is fundamentally not TiVo - the latter is recording-centric, the former is "online-first" centric. V6 is quite capable of carrying Sky Atlantic, but VM are making a commercial decision to make it TV360-exclusive - at least for now.

The exact same thing happened with Sky Sports+ which launched on TV360 initially and then very quietly on V6 just under a year later. Never any PR about it, the launch just happened.

I'm fairly surprised Sky haven't tried similar with the Disney+/HBO/Hayu launch, they're pushing Stream over Q hard nowadays for existing customers (you can't buy Q as a new customer).

Both TiVo & V6 remain fully supported for fault replacements, although you should expect fault techs to mention/encourage (delete as appropriate) TV360.

Another poster mentioned about where recordings are stored…

V6 & TV360 are the same hardware and have HDD for local recording. The difference is that TV360 is coded as an "online-first" OS and stores some of its indexing remotely.

V6 (TiVo-firmware) is a fully self-contained recording-first OS with the remote connections only used for OnDemand & streaming viewing.

Both V6 & TV360 have a variant on bookmarking, where you can save a shortcut to an OnDemand asset in your recordings list.
