Virgin Media Cable TV
Our Review :
"Virgin Media The V+HD box is a nice addition as is the Virgin on Demand which we particularly like as it gives you access to a large number of movies without having to go to the local Blockbuster! With Virgin Media TV there is also no need for a satellite dish so great for those who don't want an eyesore on the side of their house!"
Virgin Media may be the new kids on the block when it comes to TV provision but they have in fact been around for years in their previous guises as NTL and Telewest. Virgin Media is only available through cable and to that end you need to check that you are in a cable enabled area before you make a purchase decision. If not you would be better off trying Sky.
