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

the codec upgrade from MPEG2 to H.264 will compensate in some way but this is why I'm concerned that while having access to more content, the quality will be degraded by sourcing from the net instead of a dedicated server. Like you say, nothing really can be done about this, would be nice if TIvo users still had access to existing BBC content on VM VOD so some HD content could still be streamed at best quality....
DF has said "its as good if not better" so all I can do is try it out next week.
