Virgin adds new 'Dexter' in HD

Virgin Media customers will be able to watch the latest season of Dexter in high definition, the cable operator announced today.

FX, which is available on both Sky and Virgin Media, will begin broadcasting season three of the Michael C. Hall hit on April 24 at 10pm. FX HD, which will simulcast the episodes in high definition, is only available on Sky; however, the HD versions will be added to Virgin Media's on demand service two days after linear transmission.

"With Virgin Media TV on demand, our customers have the flexibility to watch the broadest range of shows whenever they choose, with over 4,600 hours of TV, film and music to pick from," said Katharine Burns Rivington, Virgin Media's managing director of content acquisition and strategy. "We’re big fans of Dexter and are delighted to bring our customers such a great show in HD. This is just one example of our commitment to bringing more HD to our customers, be it via linear channels or our extensive on demand service."

A new episode will stack every week with the entire season being available on Virgin's on demand service until August 9.
