Virgin Media save Generation Kill from my DVR death sentence

Sunday 22 November 2009


I've been recording Generation Kill every week since it started on Channel 4 HD, waiting for the ideal time to delve into its seven episodes. But, to be honest, too many shows have my attention already, so finding the time to set aside was proving... well, impossible. Added to that, those unwatched HD recordings were devouring my digibox's storage space, so I was seriously contemplating just erasing them and renting a box-set one day....

However, Virgin Media have come to my rescue! They've announced that Generation Kill will be added to their excellent on-demand service (in both standard-def and high-def) from 3 December. So, I can finally relax, delete my idle recordings, and perhaps start to watch the miniseries in the new year. It's like it was meant to be, no?

Incidentally, Virgin have some other new additions to their extensive on-demand library: season 1 and 2 of Gossip Girl (from 20 Dec), season 3 of The Wire, season 2 of The Big Bang Theory, season 4 of Six Feet Under, and season five of Two & A Half Men.
