Evening all.

It's been a while since I've been a virgin user, but my account on here still works

. A family member is considering the service, looking at Gig1 'fibre' and it would appear that VM are only offering the Stream TV box these days. Is the broadband now FTTP as opposed to HFC? And if that's the case, I presume that there's no possibility of a 'proper' telly box with a disk in it for recording? Said family member still likes to record programs that probably aren't going to be available on catch-up, and just have the flexibility they've been used to since Sky+. Or is it still HFC and possible to request getting the 360 box?
