What streaming apps are on your Virgin TV boxes? Here’s your essential guide

If the smorgasbord of TV channels can’t fulfil your insatiable urge for top-notch telly, there’s a plethora of apps offering more top-quality content for you to feast your eyes on (app availability depending on box, some subscriptions apply).

And we’re adding brand new apps to our service all the time. What does that mean? It means you can watch even more of your favourite shows when you want.

With Box Sets, films, games and activities that keep the whole family entertained, there are plenty of apps to choose from. Customers with our Virgin TV 360 or Stream boxes can press Home > Apps, or use voice control and just say “apps”. To find them on our V6 box (powered by TiVo^®), simply head on over to Home > Apps & Games > All Apps, and get watching. 

Some apps are not available on our older TV boxes, such as our V6 or TiVo boxes. To access all the great content available, contact us on 0345 454 1111 or 150 from a Virgin Media phone to upgrade now.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page for our comprehensive box-by-box app list, or read on to discover more about some of the apps you can enjoy.
