• Music, drama, sports, horror and international channels added
  • 48 of 119 on-the-go channels exclusive to Virgin Media
  • Virgin TV customers now able to use the Sky Movies Android app

Virgin Media has added 4Music, CBS Action, CBS Drama, Extreme Sports, The Horror Channel and Sony SAB to Virgin TV Anywhere, the UK’s most comprehensive TV on-the-go service.

The addition of the new channels to the service brings the total number of channels available for Virgin TV customers to watch on computers, tablets and mobiles to 119 – 48 of which are not available on Sky Go1.

The wide range of content on these channels means customers can watch shows from Dexter toWaterloo Road while around the home or out and about2.

Virgin TV customers who subscribe to Sky Movies can now also access the Sky Movies Android app, enabling them to watch some of the latest and greatest blockbuster films on Android devices3.

Virgin TV customers can watch their favourite programmes on-the-go at no extra cost using Virgin TV Anywhere and the Sky Movies and Sky Sports apps and websites.

Virgin TV customers can access Virgin TV Anywhere online or, if they have Virgin Media TiVo®, through a mobile and tablet app on iOS and Android devices4.
