PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED

For the latest news on Virgin Media's TV services, please check out Virgin's own websiteCable Forum and Media Boy's blog.

If you're interested in alternatives to cable TV I recommend Or's Cord Busters site. It's comprehensive and includes the latest information concerning Freeview, alternative/complimentary services like Roku, Now, Netflix and Amazon Prime and plenty of other useful content including hardware reviews and news on forthcoming pricing changes.

Goodbye from VMHD

It will probably not come as a great surprise to any regular visitors to this site but I've decided to no longer update the VHMD site. After fourteen years and over six million page views, it's time to say goodbye. This will be my last VMHD post.

Fourteen years ago I launched this site to campaign for more HD services on Virgin Media. In 2007 Virgin only carried a few hours of BBC in HD a day. Today, customers have a broad range of HD and 4K services. Mission accomplished. 

I'm paying less for better services than I was ten years ago so I imagine I will continue to be a customer for some time. The broadband's very good and the TV is good. To my mind there are still too many services missing from Virgin Media TV (the promised Sky 4k sports, Sky Atlantic, Disney+ all immediately spring to mind) and the migration to 360 looks like it will be painful, but those are for others to write about - I simply don't have the interest or time any more.

Thanks to everyone who has supported VMHD over the years, especially Nigel at VM, Horizon and Media Boy. I'll still be around on Cable Forum, but this is Nialli signing off from VMHD for the last time. 

Bye
