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 !!

Well I have been with VM since it was NTL for over 20 years now, so if it does change to "No Recording" I WILL LEAVE VM for good.
