How to watch pay per view on your Virgin Media TV
Live sport and more events you can watch for a one-off fee on your Virgin TV.
What is pay per view?
Live sport and more events you can watch for a one-off fee on your Virgin TV. From the wrestling or boxing ring to the Premier, pay per view stops you missing the moment champions are made.
- Buy your Live Event on your Virgin TV
If your account’s up to date, you can order most pay per view events up to 5 days before broadcast. Some are exclusive to Virgin TV V6 or TiVo – you’ll also need one of these boxes to watch in HD. Meanwhile, V, V HD and V+ HD boxes offer pay per view in standard definition.
- Watch live or catch the repeat Special Events are repeated free the next working day, for up to 4 days. Or order the repeat, if you missed the Live Event. To find out more about Live Events, go to Customer News online or find this in Help on your TV.
How to order a live event on Virgin TV
To buy a pay per view event on a Virgin Media TiVo or V6 box:
- Tap Home on the remote.
- Head to On Demand > Live Events, then press the red button.
- Choose from the available pay per view events (enter your TV PIN, if asked). To watch, go to On Demand > Live EventsHow to order a Live Event on Virgin TV or see what’s available, as soon as it’s started.
Do you have a V, V+ HD or V HD box?
Go to Channel 0 to watch Live Events in standard definition (HD’s unavailable for now).
How to play the Live Event on one of your other boxes
To watch your pay per view event on another box, rather than the one you bought it on, turn it on and, if it’s a:
- Virgin TV V6 or TiVo box; tap Home on the remote and go to On Demand > Live Events.
- V, V HD or V+ HD box; go to Live Events > Event Bookings, you’ll see your pay per view event, unless it’s high definition or exclusive to TiVo and V6 boxes.
If you’re interested in having more than one TV box, see Set up multi-room (it’s easier than you’d think).
Pay per view not working?
If you see an error message on your telly…
You won’t be charged. Unfortunately, this means your pay per view event is cancelled due to a technical problem.
Your pay per view TV will continue when the technical problem’s fixed and the message has disappeared. Please hang tight until it’s available to watch and know we’re sorry for the inconvenience.
