Apparently, it's a Virgin re-branded freeview box, which comes with the software featuring an 8 day EPG. Plus Sky three, sky news and sky sports news (as Virgin are boasting) which subscription customers don't get either. A little salt in the wound, perhaps.

What I can't understand is why Virgin's older pace boxes seem so unable to handle anything, especially when some of my friends on Sky Digital have some ancient pace boxes, which are perfectly fast and smooth with the latest software (and are more featureful, barring the VOD menus)
