Virgin TV brilliantly brings together the shows you love, so that’s why you can now get stuck into two new themed streaming channels. The best part? They’re on the house.
From Tuesday 24 June, customers with our Stream box, Virgin TV 360 or our Virgin TV V6 box (powered by TiVo®) can kick back and dive into two new channels dedicated to movies at no extra cost.
With themed channels, you can immerse yourself in your favourite genres and activities or get lost in round-the-clock episodes of hit TV shows. Perfect if you know what you like and don’t fancy searching far and wide to find it.
With British Screen Classics (CH 450) and wedotv Movies (CH 451), now every night can be movie night.
Please note, if you watch TV on our TiVo® box, you will not be able to access our themed channels. But it’s super easy to upgrade to our latest Virgin TV box.
Here’s all you need to know about your two new channels.
