There is always a wealth of unmissable entertainment on the Virgin TV UHD channel, with great TV shows, concerts and top movies in glorious ultra-high definition. We want all our TV customers to experience glorious crystal-clear UHD telly, so we’re unlocking our dedicated Virgin TV UHD channel (CH 175/999) at no extra cost.
From Saturday 28 March until Sunday 12 April, all Virgin TV customers with our V6 box, Virgin TV 360 or Stream box can get stuck into a fantastic range of UHD entertainment on our premium advert-free channel for two crystal-clear weeks.
Tune in every evening for unmissable TV at your fingertips.

All that plus a whole lot more, all in one place.

Don’t fret if you don’t have a 4K telly. You can also watch everything the channel has to offer in High Definition. Plus, if you’re busy rolling eggs down hills – look it up, people still do it – over the Easter period, you can catch up on our fantastic range of Ultra HD programming in On Demand too. We prefer chocolate eggs, FYI.
Please note, if you watch TV on our TiVo® box, you will not be able to access the Virgin TV Ultra HD channel. But it’s simple to upgrade to our latest Virgin TV box.
