It’s good news for Virgin Media customers as the network provider has finally introduced Disney+ to its TV 360 service.
The Disney+ app is now available on Virgin TV 360, ahead of the latest Disney Pixar premiere, Lightyear, streaming exclusively on the app from today, August 3.
Virgin TV 360 customers who subscribe to Disney+ will be able to access a full-line up of must-see shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and more.
Although Disney+ is now available, you’ll still have to sign up to a Disney+ subscription, priced at £7.99 a month, or £79.90 for the whole year. You can sign up here.
To launch the app, customers can simply head to the Apps section or press the mic button on their remote and say Disney+.
Once you’ve subscribed to the streaming service, grab your popcorn and enjoy an impressive roster of films and shows including the original series from Star Wars; Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Kardashians and brand-new blockbuster from Disney Pixar, Lightyear.
Those who don’t currently subscribe to Disney+ can log into their My Virgin Media account for more information about signing up.
The addition of Disney+ comes as Virgin Media revamps its 360 platform, with features including a personalised home screen and an updated catch-up catalogue.
Virgin TV 360 features include:
Personalised Home Screen - Watch where you left off, access recommended shows, browse watchlists, scroll recordings or play a rented film.
