VOD has arrived in Loughton Virgin Media TV On Demand

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Sorry for starting a new thread on the subject, but people probably weren’t expecting to see this in the “no VOD in sight for Loughton” thread.

I can now confirm that the service has started working today and have been informed that it should now be working for all segments of the Waltham Forest Head End feeding the Woodford Green area.

Hats off to VM for several communications to me over the past few days. Apparently, the original plan for the Head End at Woodford Green would not have catered for 50 Mb Broadband and new cables have been laid to link from Waltham Forest, hence the delay.

No VOD in sight for Loughton Virgin Media TV On Demand

Having been given various dates in the past for the arrival of VOD in the Loughton area (all past now) the latest news is no news. CS told me that there is no date given for VOD in this area. I guess they can afford to just write off customers in this area now. With only one linear HD channel it looks like it’s finally time to switch sides.
