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!

you go into the iPlayer environment as you would find on any device but it's quick and you don't feel that you are 'leaving' virgin.
I didn't know what the bit rate was for online iPlayer but 3.2 Mb is simply not good enough to fill a 40inch screen a DVD (i appraciate that it's a differant codec) averages 5Mb
Unfortunately this isn't something Virgin can fix except complain to the BBC
