Virgin Media has something for everyone, not just digital TV - with Virgin Media, you can combine phone, mobile and broadband services into one package, allowing you to enjoy free phonecalls, and the best in online and TV entertainment at great prices. With each Virgin Media TV package, you also get great savings on phone calls, from just £11.00 a month - you get free weekend calls with Talk Weekends as well as the Size: M Virgin TV service. A seven-day catch-up service comes included with all TV packages as standard, and programmes become available immediately after broadcast, so you never have to worry about missing your favourite shows again. All Virgin Media customers also have access to a large library of on-demand content through the Virgin Central channel - you decide what you want to watch, when you want to watch it. You can pause, rewind and fast forward - complete control at your fingertips available at anytime. Up to 500 films and over 1000 music videos are ready to be viewed on demand - access to the entire Bond franchise including 007's latest screen outing Casino Royale, is available from as little as £2.00 per movie. The V+ service, available on each Virgin TV package for an extra £15 a month allows you to watch selected channels in glorious HD and pause, rewind, and record live broadcasts for later viewing. The twin tuners which come with the V+ DVR (Digital Video Recorder) even allows you to record one programme leaving you free to watch another.

To subscribe to digital cable TV you do not need a TV aerial, as transmissions are instead received through a cable phone line which runs into a set-top box - this will be provided by the cable TV company. The information required to broadcast a TV programme is broken down into digital binary code, a stream of ones and noughts - not only does this provide superior image quality in comparison to analogue transmissions, digital broadcasts benefit from better reception. The digital stream is also much more space-efficient, allowing for a greater number of programmes to be shown. Digital technology allows viewers to access information such as programming schedules, and purchase pay-per-view programmes without having to call up a provider on a phone line. Digital cable can also be used for phone and broadband internet services.

Virgin Media is also keen to emphasise that it offers customers the chance to experience 'quad play', or all of the services in one inclusive price and monthly fee. The types of broadband connection, TV package and phone tariff all vary according to price, and are flexible to each consumer's particular needs; people who spend a lot of time talking online but use their phones rarely can select the appropriate broadband and mobile phone deal. Likewise, people who want to watch lots of films, but aren't as interested in downloading or the Internet can go for an option which suits them. Quad play deals become much more interesting when you consider that Virgin Mobile allows customers to watch digital TV on their phones, and play MP3 files downloaded from the internet via a Virgin broadband connection - everyone's individual needs are catered for by one service, all paid for by one, convenient monthly fee. All Virgin TV deals come with the TV on Demand as standard. This allows for viewers to pick and choose from an archive of 500 films, 1000 music videos, and popular drama and comedy programmes, as well as a pick of last week's TV. For an extra £15 a month, viewers can make use of the V+ service, which provides pin-sharp screen quality (which is improved greatly when viewed through an HDTV set). Virgin Media is what you make of it; people are afforded the option to pick and choose a variety of services to fit around their lives, all provided by one company.
