Virgin Media - how does it all work then?

[Dave9946]

Have I missed something in the other posts as I cant see how we can get problems with the tv channels (breaking up) on a regular basis, the catchup not working, the on demand not working yet get full trouble free speed on the internet at the same time near all the time if vis the same piece of line?. I'm getting an headache trying to understand it after reading it all again lol. But sure is a nice thread to have been dug up again.

Bromley headend hasn't existed for about 18 months / 2 years now everything (TV content) is fed from Langley with a disaster recovery headend in Knowsley.

VOD content is fed into Knowsley then "copied" to the 48 local headends and then distributed from there.

As Impz post was back in 2009 it was most likely correct then.

Nothing wrong with your update though.
