Virgin MediaUTVDigital TVVirgin Media has today announced that its cable TV customers in Northern Ireland can access a high definition simulcast of the UTV channel.
UTV HD is available now in the province at channel 113 on Virgin Media's electronic programming guide.
The channel will be made available at no extra cost to all Virgin Media's Northern Irish digital TV customers with a V+ HD or V HD box.
The launch of UTV HD follows the arrival of STV HD on Virgin Media in Scotland in June. That makes Virgin Media the only TV service to offer both regional HD channels.
Virgin Media has now launched 22 HD channels this year, while the highly-anticipated BBC One HD is expected to become available in the coming months.
