Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 4, 2007, Virgin Media Inc. (the “Company”), Virgin Media Investment Holdings Limited (“VMIH”), certain of its subsidiaries, certain banks and other lending institutions, and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as Facility Agent on behalf of itself and the other Finance Parties (the “Facility Agent”) executed a Fourth Amendment Letter amending the Company’s Senior Facilities Agreement dated 3 March 2006, as amended and restated from time to time, by and among the same parties and others (the “Amended and Restated Senior Facilities Agreement”).

The Amended and Restated Senior Facilities Agreement, among other things, (i) enables the Company and its subsidiaries to issue additional indebtedness in the form of  B tranches to the existing senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of £890 million equivalent (the “Additional B Facilities”), (ii) relaxes the Company’s financial covenants, and (iii) provides the Company with additional flexibility, including permitting the Company’s board of directors, if they so determine, to pay increased levels of dividends on the Company’s common stock.

The Company anticipates that closing and funding of the Additional B Facilities will occur on or about April 13, 2007.

A copy of the Amended and Restated Senior Facilities Agreement is filed as exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Item 9.01.  Financial Statements and Exhibits
