I don’t have a 3D TV – can I watch Virgin Media 3D On Demand? To be able to watch 3D content using your Virgin Media V+ HD or V HD set top box you do need a 3D TV, this needs to be connected to a Virgin Media HD set top box using an HDMI cable as well as the TV manufacturer’s glasses and 3D content.
Will 3D content be made available as HD or SD at the same it is made available through 3D On Demand? We will usually make available all formats at the same time, however there may times that there are exceptions to this.
Why does the EPG/User guide not display properly? When in 3D mode, the guide cannot be displayed properly because a 3D TV will attempt to convert the 2D guide into a 3D picture, this results in a blurred image of the channel guide. We recommend that you only switch your TV to 3D mode once you’re ready to watch 3D On Demand content.
I can see two identical pictures next to each other? Virgin Media 3D programmes are in ‘side by side’ 3D format, two identical pictures next to each other. If you see a ‘side-by-side’ picture check that that your TV is a 3D TV and if it is that you have set it to ‘3D mode’.
