Virgin Media Stream will include a package of channels included at no extra cost, plus additional subscription services that can be flexed on or off each month.
All BBC channels are in HD as standard, including a fully regionalised BBC One in HD.
Users will also get HD versions of ITV2, E4, More4 and Film4 at no extra cost – whereas the SD versions are free, HD versions of these channels have always been part of an ongoing pay TV subscription elsewhere, even on Sky Glass, where the HD channels are part of the ongoing pay TV package.
All major streaming services are also included, although some like UKTV Play are absent from the platform. However, Disney+ is included – and that’s despite the streaming service not yet being available on Virgin’s older 360 cable TV boxes.
And CNN’s app is also included on the box – despite CNN’s linear channel being removed from Virgin’s cable service last August.
