iPlayer, without the PC

Virgin Media customers are now able to catch-up with BBC programming directly through their set-top box as iPlayer becomes available on the cable network.

iPlayer, BBC's hugely successful catch-up service, provides access to hundreds of hours of TV content from the previous seven days. Virgin Media customers can now take advantage of the service by simply pressing their red button whilst watching a BBC channel.

The service, available at no additional cost, will be further enhanced in the summer when Virgin Media plans to integrate iPlayer directly into its electronic programming guide.

Malcolm Wall, CEO of Content at Virgin Media, said:

"We’re delighted to be the first TV platform in the UK to offer our customers BBC iPlayer as part of our on-demand service. The enormous success of iPlayer online has demonstrated the desire TV viewers have for viewing quality programmes at a time that suits them, and now it’s available from the comfort of the living room. Virgin Media is proud to be working with the BBC to continue to lead this revolution in TV viewing."
