It is all to do with advanced network fibre optic cabling.
I am told that all TV providers are doing the same.
In fact new Virgin customers are being supplied with the small box now.
Downside, the new small set-top box will NOT have a recording facility, all will be online viewing - no recording.
In my case, I then see no benefit whatsoever in paying Virgin for my TV service and will cancel my TV package with them and simply watch FreeView.
Progress ? Yes, in reverse !!

Yes, sounds like Virgin Stream, but you will only pay a few quid per month for that. It’ll be worth it in my view for the watchlist facility, which I find very useful for keeping track of what I am watching.
If you are happy with the Freeview offering, I agree that there’s no point in having Virgin TV, unless you don’t have an aerial, in which case Freely is probably best for you.
