Actually it's both.

Take the front page, for example. Ranged along the top is what Virgin Media terms the "discovery bar". It's not just there for show, but suggests and recommends programming you might fancy trying out based on others you've seen or recorded. It will also hint at pay-per-view content you may enjoy, such as on-demand movies, or it could also be used by Virgin Media to let you know about a new channel or service that's popped up:

"Certain pieces of content, either by our partnerships or through our own curated direction, we can slot into the discovery bar. Front and centre, there could be something that says 'New', for example", said Green.
