What you get and what you can do with Multiroom from Virgin Media
When you grab one of our TV bundles, you can add up to five extra Stream boxes to watch and stream your favourite shows around the whole home, all at the same time.
Having multiroom means you can pause TV in one room and pick it up in another, or use Profiles to personalise the Stream boxes in different rooms. No extra cables, no drilling, no mess – just plug in and stream on.
And it’s all backed by our WiFi guarantee, which is our promise you’ll enjoy download speeds of at least 30Mbps in every room or get £100 bill credit.

What are the benefits of multiroom?
Pause on one telly, play on another
You can switch from room to room, and even room to Virgin TV Go app, without missing a moment. All your Profiles will be shared across the Stream boxes, including the same Pause Points and personalised recommendations.
Enjoy TV at different points
You can watch the same show in different rooms, but at your own place. No need to hold each other back or rush ahead to keep up.
Flexible parental controls
Easily adjust the settings for each box. For example, you can put more restrictions in the kids’ bedroom than in the living room.
Stops arguments over the remote
No more fighting to watch what you want. But if you keep hogging the best sofa, others may have a moan that it’s your turn to move to another room!
How do I set up Multiroom from Virgin Media?
Your Stream boxes will come with everything you need to set them up, including detailed instructions. But all you really need to do is plug one cable into a power socket, the other into a TV, follow the setup process and stream on!
