TV - Virgin Media
I have just had an engineers visit and a surprising explanation of what the network will be doing over the next few months.
Currently my set-top box is the size of a laptop. This is going to be replaced by a small box about 3x3x0.25 inches in the next few months.
It is all to do with advanced network fibre optic cabling.
I am told that all TV providers are doing the same.
In fact new Virgin customers are being supplied with the small box now.
Downside, the new small set-top box will NOT have a recording facility, all will be online viewing - no recording.
In my case, I then see no benefit whatsoever in paying Virgin for my TV service and will cancel my TV package with them and simply watch FreeView.
Progress ? Yes, in reverse !!
