Virgin Media O2 has today (April 26) unveiled its brand new entertainment service that allows customers to switch up their entertainment for less.
Available from tomorrow, Virgin Media Stream lets customers enjoy their favourite TV channels, video apps and streaming subscriptions with a small plug and play box powered by the telecom giant's superior broadband. It will set you back £35 upfront and doesn't involve any long term contracts.
What's more, anyone with the new service can get 10% credit towards the subscriptions they add to their account with the Stream box.
The product also enables customers to convert older TV models into voice-activated smart TVs using a HDMI cable. This means you needn't splash out on a new screen to upgrade your home entertainment set-up.
Disney+ is also now available on Virgin TV for the first time through Stream, along with other much-loved apps like Netflix, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and YouTube as well as live TV subscriptions including Sky Sports and BT Sport.
Stream will be available on a 30-day rolling contract, allowing customers to add or remove subscriptions every month.
The service is powered by Virgin Media’s ultrafast and gigabit broadband, meaning even the busiest households will be able to get the best TV experience whist making the most of their connectivity.
David Bouchier, Chief TV & Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2, said: "At a time of endless entertainment choice and a strain on household budgets, we’re putting viewers first. Stream customers will only pay for the entertainment they choose and can pocket monthly savings on the content they add – it is a truly flexible and personal way to enjoy the entertainment that matters most, at great value.
"Stream is more than just a new TV service, it’s whole new way to enjoy connected entertainment. More than ever, content and connectivity go hand in hand and with Stream we’re delivering the best of both."
Stream will be available to both new and existing customers who take a Virgin Media broadband only or broadband and home phone package. You can add Stream for a one-off activation fee of £35, with no ongoing cost beyond the streaming services you choose to subscribe to.
Whether you're at home or on the go, Stream will allow you to manage your entertainment with ease across devices via the My Virgin Media app, simply by using the app.
