The cable TV and telecoms operator said its Cisco-made box is 3D-ready, ahead of the launch of 3D TVs at the end of April, and features multiple ports and a power saving function.
New and existing TV customers on the M+ TV tier or above can get the new V HD Box for a one-off cost of just £49 plus installation with no extra on-going subscription fees.
Yesterday, Virgin Media announced Universal Networks International's Sci-Fi channel will be available to Virgin Media customers in high definition ahead of the station's rebrand to Syfy on 13 April.
The Universal Networks channel will rebrand to Syfy HD on 13 April and will show imagination-based entertainment, including the forthcoming premiere of V, a re-imagining of the 1983 invasion mini-series.
Virgin Media has announced HD channels from ITV, Eurosport, Discovery, E4 and Film4 will be added to its TV service later this year and more channels are to be announced.
HD channels from the BBC and Channel 4 are also currently available to all Virgin TV customers and subscribers to Virgin Media's 'XL' TV package can also watch ESPN HD, National Geographic HD, FX HD, MTV Networks HD and LIVING HD (a Virgin Media exclusive).
Sky's HD pack of channels costs £10 a month but the addition of ITV1 HD (on 2 April) and the forthcoming launch of the Hallmark Channel HD (28 June) and Sky Sports 4 HD (29 April) means Sky will soon offer 40 high definition channels.
