Virgin Media has started a national rollout of new software for its V+ personal video recorder that is designed to fix several long-standing bugs.
The update, which was tested on a small number of boxes last month, is aimed at stopping numerous audio drop-outs and failed recordings that have been the frequent cause of complaint on the Digital Spy V+ forum.
In addition to the bug fixes, the software also re-enables the VCR SCART output when the box is in HDMI mode, and offers performance improvements in terms of the time taken by the box to change channels and access red-button interactive services.
There are no changes to the look and feel of the electronic programme guide.
