Want to find out about accessibility on our Virgin TV boxes?
Yes, you can easily watch Virgin TV on-the-go, for out and about entertainment. Get the Virgin TV Go app on your mobile or tablet to watch live and On Demand telly.
More about the Virgin TV Go app
What’s more, you can rent or buy movies and Box Sets from the Virgin Media Store and watch online from your laptop or computer, or through the Virgin Media Store app.
We recommend changing your Virgin TV PIN to make sure that any purchases on the TV Go app are made with the account holder’s permission.
The default parental control PIN for the Virgin TV 360 box, Stream box, V6 box and TiVo box is 1234. This adds protection for things like accessing adult content or making in-box purchases.
It’s best for the Virgin Media account holder to change this as soon as they can for extra security and protection against accidental purchases.
Head to our Channel Guide to find this out. All the channels available are listed there, along with which TV package they’re on. If you’re not sure what TV package you have, just check your bill or sign in to My Virgin Media.
The 360 box has the capability for you to set up to 6 personalised ‘profiles’ for those in your home – that’s 1 for you and up to 5 for others.
Carry on watching where you left off, jump to your favourite channels, and make sure your personalised recommendations aren’t affected by the rest of the household.
Control the 360 box using your voice. Just hold down the microphone button and speak into the remote – it’s as easy as that! Why not try saying your favourite app’s name to launch it instantly – like ‘Netflix’. ‘Top’ to return to the top of the guide or any menu screen. ‘Recordings’, ‘Saved’ or ‘My Shows’ to go to your recordings page from anywhere. ‘Skip forward/back 10 minutes’ to navigate through recordings, Catch Up or On Demand shows. ‘Off’ to turn off your telly box.
Use Voice Control to quickly search for your favourite content. Simply press the microphone button on the 360 remote and tell the box what to look for, like ‘Game of Thrones’, and it’ll search across everything – your recordings, On Demand, apps like Netflix, the TV Guide – and more!
