Now Picture Quality
I have got to say that SD picture is noticalbly softer, which I admit is dissapointing but not as dissapointing as the iPlayer app whic is not so much noticably softer but to me in my opinion unacceptably softer with the HD footage quite poor.
I know that the BBC create different footage for iPhones etc so here is hoping that they encode stuf at a higher rate for Virgin Customers.
I do need to add that I spend my entire working day editing HD footage so it is possible that I'm being overly critical but the BBC need to sort this out IMHO
apart from that loving the box so far.
right really need to work :-)

I'm concerned you've been able to notice a drop in iplayer quality. I'm looking forward to the extra content but one of the best things about V+ is the VOD stream quality, especially HD.
iplayer HD streams H.264 at 3200kbps. How does this compare to the MPEG2 stream of VOD from VM (if anyone has this info)?
Does it 'feel' like you're leaving the box environment and going online to play iplayer programming? or is the experience still quite integrated?
Sorry for all the questions!
