This question should be on the Virgin TV board, but can't access it. Says "not enough privileges"?
However, recently some advertisements and program trailers are showing postbox view. That's a solid black line top and bottom of screen. And sometimes a solid black line on left and right of the picture. Anyone know why this view has started to appear?

The TV-board was ringfenced a year or so back.
Are you asking about the lead-in adverts on VoD programmes?

No, ITV as that's the only channel (as far as I know) that has commercial advertising. But don't know if the same using freeview or similar? Only access TV through Virgin.

The BBC is the only broadcaster who is substantially advert-free - everyone else carries adverts. As far as Freeview-based channels go, C4 & C5 both carry adverts.

Not on my TV. The postbox view is not selected. However, I'll have a look at the channels that have advertising on another TV station and see if the same as on Virginmedia?
