Hope so, the SD channel has been glitchy for years (nothing else from multiplex is, so it's that channel's feed) and the golf highlights at the weekend would benefit from any improvement in picture quality.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
I received information overnight that NBC News Now has been added to the SDT. TSID 24 SID 2406 for those who like to watch progress on sites such as digitalbitrate, although video / audio streams etc have still to be added.

I feel NBC News Now HD may launch on Channel 614 or Channel 627.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
Britbox has launched on Virgin, and ITVX is also arriving later this year.

The Advanced Television article just said "through their latest set-top boxes".
I've not had a chance to check my V6 yet.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
It is on V6 and 360 - but not the old standard TiVo boxes.

There's a surprise - It would be nice if once in a while that TV only customers are offered all of these apps which launch on VM, such as Amazon, Britbox and presumably many others.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
The TiVo boxes wouldn't run the new apps at an acceptable performance level unfortunately.
Even the ones it does have are slower than on either V6 or TiVo.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)
It's only a 10mb Internet connection on the old boxes - so the streaming of a lot of the stuff would be poor too.
