The Virgin Media V HD Box has just been announced, and while it’s not the TiVo touting set top box due late this year, it’s an enticing option nonetheless, letting standard definition customers upgrade to HD for no extra monthly cost. Oh, and it’s 3D ready too!
The Virgin Media V HD Box is aimed squarely at current V Box customers, and will let them access its newly announced HD channels for an upfront costs of £49 plus installation.
The Virgin Media V HD Box itself packs a HDMI port of course, along with USB, SCART and ethernet connections, and tantalisingly, Virgin Media has also revealed that it’s 3D ready, presumably for whenever it makes the same move Sky is by adding a 3D channel alongside its Sky HD offerings.
