Virgin Media to offer Universal Pictures' "PictureBox"

More video-on-demand

29 June 2009 9:18 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Virgin Media has announced it is extending its video-on-demand offerings with the launch of PictureBox, in association with Universal Pictures.

From July, the PictureBox service will be available for £5 per month and provide a selection of recent and library feature films.

Subscribers will be able to view films whenever they like from a selection of 28 films at any given time, with seven new titles being added to the line-up each Friday.

The companies say that most of the PictureBox films will be available in HD and many will not yet have been seen on free-to-air television in the UK.

  • Well its good news but i think Virgin have many customers and they do not want anymore. I went to a internet cafe just to surf. I open the home page and there was this site http://www.domesticutilities.com
    There was an ad of virgin for free tv with telephone. I signed up and then next day i received an email that because there is some one already using Virgin service so we cannot offer you one. Isnt this bullshit. Mr Branson if you are reading this then sort this problem out so that we can have virgin service
