This is where the situation gets even more complicated for Virgin. Because of the incident, a number of channels have been off-air at various times or operating with no sound etc. HD channels being particularly badly affected. TV360 users don't have the luxury of selecting the SD version. I never really liked the idea of the 360 limiting the number of channels available but, hey, progress. In cases like this, it seems that Virgin are using the, already downgraded, SD feeds. I've noticed reports on other sites about Virgin not carrying the same content as other platforms, this explains why. The big question here though is how long does it take Virgin to restore the HD feed when it jumps back into action? What a mess!
