How do I add, change or cancel a subscription on Stream?

You can sign up to subscription services like Netflix through Stream, and then pay for them through your Virgin Media bill. What’s more, you’ll get credit back on every subscription you add.

Remember, if you have an existing account with one of these subscription services, you may not be able to add them to your Virgin Media bill. It’s also your responsibility to manage any existing accounts you may have. Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to use Stream to sign in and use their apps as usual.

Adding Netflix

First you need to set up a new Netflix account by following these easy steps:

  1. Register or sign in to My Stream Plan

  2. Head to Add subscriptions and on the Netflix option, click Set up

  3. An Add Netflix window will pop up. Click Set up Netflix and then follow the on-screen instructions to set up and choose your Netflix plan.

Once you’ve chosen your Netflix plan and set up your account, you’ll be taken back to your Stream account where you’ll see Netflix appear in the Active subscriptions section.

Go to Netflix

Cancelling Netflix

You can do this online in your My Stream Plan account.

  1. Register or sign in to My Stream Plan

  2. Head to the Active subscriptions section, and click on Netflix

  3. On the window that pops up, click Cancel subscription

  4. Confirm you want to cancel it by clicking Yes cancel it

  5. We’ll confirm we’ve cancelled it, and you can then click Done

Once you’ve cancelled Netflix, you’ll see it as pending removal in Active subscriptions. It’ll have a little clock symbol under it, and lets you know how many days are remaining before it’s removed.

Netflix is on a 30-day rolling contract, however the number of days remaining depends on when you first took the subscription out. For example, if you took the subscription out on the 20th, and cancelled on the 5th of the following month, you’d have 15 days left. However, if you cancelled on the 15th instead, you’d only have 5 days remaining. You’ll never see partial charges for subscriptions.


Disney+ Premium

Adding Disney+ Premium

First you need to set up a new Disney+ Premium account by following these easy steps:

  1. Register or sign in to My Stream Plan

  2. Head to Add subscriptions and on the Disney+ Premium option, click Add

  3. An Add Disney+ Premium window will pop up. Click Activate Disney+ and then follow the on-screen instructions

Once you’ve subscribed and set up your Disney+ Premium account, you’ll be taken back to your Stream account where you’ll see Disney+ Premium appear in the Active subscriptions section.

If you already have a Disney+ Premium account and want to keep your existing account profile, you must sign up with the same email address. This way your existing Disney+ Premium subscription will pause when you start a new one through Stream, in order to pay for it through your Virgin Media bill. If you already have a Disney+ Premium subscription with another provider, contact them to avoid paying twice when you subscribe through Stream.

If you’d prefer not to add your existing Disney+ Premium subscription to your Virgin Media bill through Stream, that’s OK! Simply head to the Disney+ Premium app on Stream and sign in as usual to continue enjoying Disney+ Premium.

To use Disney+ Premium, you’ll need a Disney+ Premium account and you must accept the Disney+ T&Cs. Disney+ Premium is an independent data controller of the personal data of Disney+ Premium subscribers.

Cancelling Disney+ Premium

You can do this online in your My Stream Plan account.

  1. Register or sign in to My Stream Plan

  2. Head to the Active subscriptions section, and click on Disney+ Premium

  3. On the window that pops up, click Cancel subscription

  4. Confirm you want to cancel it by clicking Yes cancel it

  5. We’ll confirm we’ve cancelled it, and you can then click Done

Once you’ve cancelled Disney+ Premium, you’ll see it as pending removal in Active subscriptions. It’ll have a little clock symbol under it, and lets you know how many days are remaining before it’s removed.

Disney+ Premium is on a monthly rolling contract, however the number of days remaining depends on when you first took the subscription out. For example, if you took the subscription out on the 20th, and cancelled on the 5th of the following month, you’d have 15 days left. However, if you cancelled on the 15th instead, you’d only have 5 days remaining. And just so you know, if you request to cancel your subscription close to the end of your monthly billing cycle, your request might not be processed before the cycle ends. This means your subscription could roll into your next billing cycle, but don’t worry, any additional subscription fees incurred in this situation would be refunded onto your next bill.

You can remove Disney+ Premium from Stream and your Virgin Media bill at any time, but once your current billing period ends you will lose access to Disney+ Premium. You can re-subscribe by signing in to My Stream Plan, adding Disney+ Premium to your bill and activating your Disney+ Premium account again.


New Disney+ Premium Pricing

Yes, your Disney+ subscription will change from £7.99/month to £10.99/month. This is because Disney+ has changed the way their subscriptions work and introduced three subscription plans: Premium, Standard and Standard With Ads.

As an existing Disney+ subscriber through Virgin Media, you’ll automatically get the Disney+ Premium plan, allowing you to make the most of your Disney+ experience.

The Premium plan includes up to 4K UHD & HDR video, 4 concurrent streams, downloads on up to 10 devices, up to Dolby Atmos audio, and ad-free streaming.

From 6th December 2023 – you’ll see the new price on the next bill you receive on or after this date.

For now, we only offer the Disney+ Premium plan.

The Disney+ Premium plan is ad-free, allows you to watch on four devices at the same time, and offers up to Ultra HD streaming on 4K-ready devices – plus Dolby Atmos sound – for the greatest Disney+ viewing experience.

If you’d like to move to a different tier, you’ll need to cancel your subscription with us by logging in to your My Virgin Media account before signing up with Disney+ directly.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription by signing in to your My Virgin Media account or getting in touch with us on 0345 454 1111.

Yes. To keep your existing Disney+ account, just sign up on My Virgin Media with the same email address. This will pause your subscription so you can start a new one through us.

If you’re paying for Disney+ with another provider, you’ll need to manage this before setting up an account through us so you’re not double-billed.

We offer the Disney+ Premium plan as standard, so if you already have Disney+ Premium, your subscription will stay the same.

If you have one of the other Disney+ plans (Standard or Standard With Ads), you’ll be automatically upgraded to the Disney+ Premium plan. The price of your subscription will change to the new Disney+ Premium plan price (currently £10.99 per month) – giving you access to all its features, including ad-free streaming, up to 4K UHD & HDR video, 4 concurrent streams, downloads on up to 10 devices and up to Dolby Atmos audio.

Or, you can sign up for the Disney+ premium plan directly with Virgin Media by getting in touch with us on 0345 454 1111 or logging in to your My Virgin Media account.

If you’re paying for Disney+ with another provider, you’ll need to manage this before setting up an account through us so you’re not double-billed.
