Hi All just to let everywon know the following channels will be comming to virginmedia from April

Eurosport HD
Discovery HD
Film4 HD Exclusively On Virgin Media
E4 HD
Cartoonito
Military History

Also Virginmedia changed my box to the samsung V+ box. It is Alot better than the SA boxes.

* Better picture qulity
* Quick response
* Records and stops recording in 2 seconds flat
* No humming or vibration from the harddrive at all
* Large and very clear display on box makes it easy read

The samsung boxes uses a WDC WD1600AVVS by Westen Digital Caviar of which if you read the specs of the hard drive you will be impressed

The Old SA boxes uses WDC IDE 7200 rpm ultra DMA 133mps hard drive that is why it takes longer to record.

The samsung uses WDC SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard drive that is why its quicker to record on.
ps. I dont know what the harddrive spins at due to the hard drive IntelliSeek
