Virgin Media telly customers will be able to access a free update that will see many popular channels upgraded to full HD.
The pixel-packed upgrade is being switched on automatically for those who have 4K TVs , meaning that customers won't have to do a thing to update their device.
Channels receiving an HD makeover include Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries and Sky Sports as well as Cartoon Network and National Geographic.
As reported by the Express, Virgin has also made improvements to enhance the viewing experience as part of the update, making it easier for customers to find HD channels.
It is worth mentioning that some old channels will be moving as a result of this, so if your favourites aren't where they used to be it's likely that they've just moved.
The new channels that you receive will depend on your package as customers with a Mix package benefit from 14 channels upgraded to HD.
Meanwhile those who have signed up to Player or Mixit plans gain seven upgraded channels.
