Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

"Information and pictures of Virgin Media's new Samsung 3110 V+ box have been leaked, with talk of MPEG4 compression."

"Although Virgin Media is promising three more HD channels in the coming months, this is not tied in with any hardware change with bandwidth available for the high-capacity channels."
