True, I hope they are trying to thrash out a better deal than SKY struck:)

Bad day?

It's not irrelevant, it's the difference between whether or not only the BBC can do anything about it or the possibility that Virgin could manage it themselves with a stb software update.

Yes it's built into the STB settings , Youview will automatically bring up the HD OD version if there is one.

Example go back a day in the EPG select say 'The Apprentice' and iplayer will open with the HD version selected.

Cheers - that's an excellent feature. As above, I wonder if there's any way a future TiVo update could provide Virgin users with this setting?

Thanks for the info, spiderplant.

It's been updated to say "when it launches on Virgin Media", which can only really be taken as official confirmation that it will. I'm happy to have got this one wrong!
