Virgin Media has launched a new Sci-fi & Fantasy area in its TV on demand section, with up to 150 hours of programming from Warner TV, FX UK, ContentFilm and Virgin Media TV.

Customers on the XL package, or those subscribing to TV Choice, will have unlimited access to classic shows such as Babylon 5 and Star Trek, as well as contemporary science fiction series such as Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

In addition, throughout February, all Virgin Media customers will be able to watch shows such as V, Supernatural and Moonlight, for free through Virgin Central, the on demand channel (channel 118).

Trekkies will also be pleased to hear that season five of Star Trek: The Next Generation, season four of Star Trek: Voyager and season seven of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine will be available in February.

Further Star Trek seasons from Virgin Media Television will be made available month by month on demand, and can be watched on Virgin1 (channel 119).
