Ready to pick and mix your own personal playlist of great entertainment? With My Watchlist, you can create your own collection of shows. It lets you save your faves to watch later, all in one place, so you’re never short of stuff to get stuck into.

Just bookmark episodes or series from the TV guide and your home screen using the Save button on the remote, or press and hold the mic button on your remote and say “save to my watchlist”. You can even manage it on the move with Virgin TV Go.

In fact, you can add to My Watchlist from anywhere on our Stream box. Whether you’re browsing the TV guide, the home screen, or searching for your favourite show, you can create your own personal playlist of great content.

To make it even easier to find the stuff you love, we’ve even categorised My Watchlist. Once your picks have landed in your My Watchlist page, your content will be categorised into four different sections: Series and documentaries, Movies, Sports and Kids. Handy, right?

Plus, with up to six personalised profiles – each with its own My Watchlist – everyone can enjoy their favourites without stepping on each other’s toes.

Less app-hopping, more watching, with all your saved telly in one place. It’s what Sundays were made for.
