This is actually is good for us with TiVo/V6 boxes if they do this they can shift to MPEG4 encoding and fit more channels in as well as UHD channels.

Re: Virgin Media UK to axe V Boxes from August
I suspect that this is the idea. Moving ITV HD in the remaining areas not already done as well as all the SD channels over to MPEG4 will indeed free up space.
UHD channels are currently being tested internally off the EPG... |

I thought Sky Movies and Sports and many other HD channels were already MPEG4.

All HD channels are now MPEG4, apart from ITV HD in certain areas.

You CAN'T get Sky Sports HD Channels on V+ Boxes. But all the rest of the HD is still on them. |
Re: Virgin Media UK to axe V Boxes from August
There's no technical reason why HD channels in MPEG4 cannot be shown on the remaining V+ boxes, this appears to have been a strategic decision by VM to force these sports subscribers to upgrade.
Wonder when the remaining V+ boxes and the V HD boxes will be scrapped? |
