The Challenge

Virgin’s UK wide cable platform offers over 300 UK channels and the operator needed a source for all of the EPG data that completes the consumer’s viewing experience. Rather than deal with each channel separately, an aggregated supply of the entire bundle was preferred.

The Solution

Our in-house TeleView system already contains many of the channels that make up the Virgin platform, so our solution was to link them into a bundle that could be technically processed and coded for delivery to the various platforms. We also deal with late schedule changes by updating the EPG to minimise the impact on Virgin’s viewing customers.

The Result

Virgin have a single supplier who sources and aggregates all their EPG data for all the channels on the platform. We provide that data to them in multiple formats to accommodate a number of legacy headends. Delivered from our in-house Teleview system, the data is rich and well maintained and the system is flexible to expand with the needs of the Virgin platform.
