V+ update software from Virgin Media

Virgin Media has begun to deploy new software for its V+ personal video recorder. The new software is designed to fix several long-standing bugs, and follows successful tests conducted during February.

The update is aimed at stopping numerous audio drop-outs and failed recordings that have been a frequent cause of complaint on the Digital Spy V+ forum.

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.

The electronic programme guide will not change.
