The SD V boxes are being withdrawn because Virgin are looking to start switching SD channels over to MPEG4 compression following the completion of the HD ones earlier this year, which the SD boxes cannot decode.<br /><br />When these boxes have been retired, all set-top boxes on the network will be MPEG4 compliant including the V HD & Samsung V+ HD (the Scientific Atlanta variant was retired last year).Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325220423945991924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-50283777501743873472018-06-03T10:16:57.727+01:002018-06-03T10:16:57.727+01:00Mine started working todayMine started working todayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548962585019018696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-42204025953577049822018-06-03T03:18:52.069+01:002018-06-03T03:18:52.069+01:00I think the real reason for retiring the old boxes...I think the real reason for retiring the old boxes may be more to do with stopping piracy.

Once all the SD boxes are removed from peoples homes, they can stop all the SD versions of programs also in HD.

I’d like to know. Hopefully we don’t also end up with 3 versions of every channel with 4K. And the other annoying thing is that every time I set the quick guide to show only my favourites (the HD channels), it forgets that setting every time I put the box in standby. That seriously gets on my nerves.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16249558385272294428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644371100807363751.post-29061897043072672722018-05-27T14:46:01.817+01:002018-05-27T14:46:01.817+01:00Just tried pressing blue.
