Whether you're settling in for a movie marathon, catching the big match, or jumping between apps, finding something to watch shouldn’t feel like a chore.

Our latest updates to our Virgin TV 360 and Stream boxes are designed to make things quicker, simpler and more personal, so you can spend less time searching and more time enjoying your favourite shows.

A fresher, smarter home screen

Our home screen has had a refresh, making it easier to find what you want, when you want it. Discover our new Entertainment Zones, containing the best shows and movies from across all your favourite streaming services, apps and live channels.

Everything is organised more clearly, so your favourite apps, channels and recently watched shows are always within easy reach. Plus, with less scrolling, you can get straight to the good stuff without the hassle.

Entertainment Zones

On our 360 and Stream boxes, customers will now find dedicated Entertainment Zones, housing everything from TV shows and movies, to sports and kid’s favourites, all in one place. Moving from the top of your screen to their own section makes finding what you want all the more seamless.

My Watchlist

For those with our Stream box, My Watchlist will still be found at the top of your screen, making it easy to dive back into all your favourites. Whether it’s a must-watch series, a late-night movie pick, or something you’ve been saving for the weekend, it’s all right there at the top of your screen – no digging, no fuss.

Add shows to your My Watchlist with a click of a button and come back whenever it suits you - you can even add things directly from the Entertainment Zones too. Everything’s neatly lined up, ready when you are, so you can pick up exactly where you left off or jump straight into something new.

With your My Watchlist in one easy-to-reach spot, staying on top of your viewing has never been simpler. It’s your TV, organised your way – smooth, seamless, and totally in sync with how you like to watch.

What else is new?

Those with our 360 box will be able to start up directly to the home screen, making it easier to access your recordings, streaming services and live telly.

No more extra steps – just diving straight into your latest watch or favourite film. Welcome to your personal home.
