Virgin Media V HD Video Box
The box itself costs £ 49 HD V, with a fee of £ 35 installation can be reduced to £ 15 with a quick start pack should consult an engineer is not required. Then, the package the cheapest TV is £ 11.50 per month (or £ 5.50 with a phone line £ 11.99/month Virgin). This would make the total cost of a typical year the first just over 220 pounds a far cry from “free” flight but short enough for the day be worth considering.
The Cisco built V HD box itself is certainly a well made kit. Its design will not win awards for originality, but the tasteful black finish will fit perfectly with most AV set-up without attracting undue attention.
The back contains an impressive number of ports. Of particular importance is the HDMI output, allowing you to hook the box V HD TV at 720p or 1080i. A component video output is the same thing, and an optical digital output allows connection to a dedicated audio system if you have one. There is also a scart output, but only a fool can connect a high definition set-top using such an archaic connection. To complete the set is the input cable and both USB and Ethernet, which is useless for the moment.
The front panel houses a surprisingly high number of buttons, which gives quick access to most system functions. The remote provided by Virgin Media is a pleasure to use, with all the important buttons cleverly located close at hand for use with one hand. Intelligently volume controls change the output of your TV rather than the HD box V. The EPG is commendable for its clean, logical layout.
