They will probably just update the firmware on the existing TV Drives.

Re: V+HD Box!
the V+ HD boxes are the same hardware as the current TV Drive boxes apart from the colour (oh and V+ on the remote button instead of TV Drive)
The new code (for the Virgin Media guide) is pre-loaded on the boxes that are going in the Bromley areas. All other TV Drive boxes (Langley AND ex-Telewest ones) should have the code update by the end of January, in time for the Virgin Media relaunch sometime in Feb

Re: V+HD Box!
There's a video demo of the V+HD box running the Virgin Media software in the On Demand offerings. Look under TV Choice -> What's New.

Re: V+HD Box!
Cool! Black should always be the colour for AV kit. Pound to a pinch I'll get a silver one  (Install 27/01 LE11)

Re: V+HD Box!
Thanks for the pics mate. 
It does look good in black, but I think I would still prefer it in silver because it would match with my TV, Hi Fi and DVD player.

Re: V+HD Box!
Cool! . . . .so with Virgin Media...Virgin HD, and Virgin + (so to speak) are all in the one box? The box has both a harddrive, and High Definition stuff?
Sounds great but i really wonder how much it will cost per month, and for the box.
---------- Post added at 18:59 ---------- Previous post was at 18:57 ----------
Also I wonder when those boxes and remotes will be available. Knowing me 'll get an old ntl: one.

Re: V+HD Box!
Yep, PVR and HD in one box.
The box is free as long as you subscribe (it's rented, not purchased by the subscriber). Installation is free for new Digital TV customers and existing customers who keep their current STB.
V+ service costs £15 monthly for TV: Size M and Size L customers, and £10 for Size XL customers.

Re: V+HD Box!
So when will all these prices (including package prices) be put on the website. On ntl's u.k website there is NOTHING about PVR or HD at all.
