Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This statement relates to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Virgin Media Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 909 Third Avenue, Suite 2683, New York, NY 10022.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

This statement is filed by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“FMA”).

The principal business address of FMA is 101 John F. Kennedy Parkway, Short Hills, NJ 07078. FMA is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. FMA is a Delaware limited liability company.

The names, addresses, principal occupations and citizenship of each executive officer and director and each controlling person, if any, of FMA are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

Neither FMA nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of the persons listed in Exhibit A has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The securities reported in Item 5 as beneficially owned by FMA were acquired with funds of approximately $278.5 million (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from investment capital of FMA’s respective advisory clients.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

FMA purchased the Common Stock in the ordinary course of business for its advisory clients for the purpose of investment. FMA does not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Simultaneously with the filing of this amended schedule FMA, which originally filed a Schedule 13G, is again filing a Schedule 13G reflecting the holdings of FMA’s investment management clients.

FMA may in the future purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, in the open market, in privately-negotiated purchases or otherwise, or sell some or all of its Common Stock.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) One or more of FMA’s advisory clients is the owner of 26,171,135 shares of Common Stock. Investment management contracts with FMA’s investment management clients grant to FMA sole voting and investment power over the securities owned by or on behalf of its investment management clients, including sole power to dispose of such securities. Therefore,

CUSIP No. 92769L101

13D

Page 4 of 9 Pages

FMA may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), the beneficial owner of the securities reported in this statement (the “Securities”).

FMA is a limited liability company, the managing member and sole member of which is Franklin/Templeton Distributors, Inc., which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. (“FRI”). Beneficial ownership by investment management subsidiaries and other affiliates of FRI is being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by FMA are exercised independently from FRI (FMA’s parent holding company) and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment management subsidiaries other than FMA are, collectively, “FRI affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of FMA and FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.

Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the “Principal Shareholders”) each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding common stock of FRI and are the principal stockholders of FRI. However, because FMA exercises voting and investment powers on behalf of its investment management clients independently of FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and their respective affiliates, beneficial ownership of the securities being reported by FMA is being attributed only to FMA. FMA disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the Securities. In addition, the filing of this statement on behalf of FMA should not be construed as an admission that it is, and it disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the Securities.

Furthermore, FMA believes that it is not a “group” with FRI, the Principal Shareholders, or their respective affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that none of them are otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services.

(c) Other than the transactions described in Exhibit B of this statement, neither FMA nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of the persons listed in Exhibit A, have effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the 60-day period preceding the date this statement was filed.

(d) No person other than the investment management clients of FMA is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities being reported herein.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
