What is Virgin TV - Digital TV

What is Virgin TV?

Feast your eyes on Virgin TV. We've got a massive choice of channels, the latest shows and films saved for you to watch whenever you want, plus our clever V+ HD Box.

Ditch the dish

Virgin TV is delivered down fibre optic cable, so there's no need for an unsightly dish on the side of your house – you don't even need your TV aerial. All our TV packages come with a set top V box, or you can choose a V+ HD Box for just a little extra, and that's all you need to start enjoying some amazing TV.

All the channels you love

Whatever your favourite channels, we've got the lot: Sky1, Sky Sports, Sky Movies, LIVING, MTV, Nickelodeon, The Discovery Channel - plus tons more. Remember, you can change your TV packages after the first 30 days. So, if you're a sport fan you can upgrade to Sky Sports in time for the start of the new Premier League season.

A massive choice of TV, films and music on demand

Whether it's an entire series of The Wire, that must-see film or last night's Corrie cliffhanger, if it's in our huge on demand library, you can watch it whenever you want. Plus you can catch up on the latest shows with BBC iPlayer, ITV Net Player and 4 On Demand...

V+ HD Box: like a video recorder, but loads better

Record your favourite shows – or even an entire series – at the touch of a button, and store up to 80 hours of programmes to watch whenever you want. And V+ lets you pause, record and rewind live TV without missing any of the action. You can even record two channels while you watch a third – you can't do that with Sky+.
