Virgin Media customers receive another TV upgrade – but it’ll cost you

VIRGIN Media customers can now access another favourite streaming app directly from their set-top TV box.

If you have a Virgin TV 360 or Stream box, you’ll now find Paramount+ available.

This includes hits from brands including Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, SHOWTIME and the Smithsonian Channel.

Yellowstone, Yellowjackets, HALO, Tulsa King and Top Gun: Maverick are among the shows and movies available.

Sadly it doesn’t come free – to access the shows and movies from Paramount you’ll need to pay for it.

At present, the subscription costs £6.99 per month.

A year’s access comes in at £69.90.

By contrast, Sky offers Paramount+ at no extra cost if you’re subscribed to Sky Cinema.

Virgin TV already offers access to other streaming services both free and paid.

This includes the main broadcasters like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 and My5.

As well as the premium ones like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

“Offering our customers access to the latest and greatest programmes in one easy, convenient place has long been a focus for us,” said David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2.

“Whether it’s drama, sport or documentaries, Virgin TV provides something for everyone, and the addition of Paramount+’s huge catalogue of award-winning shows and iconic movies means entertainment just got even better for Virgin TV customers.”

Sadly, if you have an older Virgin TV box you’re out of luck when it comes to Paramount+ but you can access most other apps.
