Virgin Media TV packages

Virgin Media offer a few different bundles to choose from depending on the type of content you watch. All these bundles have broadband included, with the option to upgrade your speed. Customers also have the option to upgrade each TV bundle to a Volt bundle, which gives a boost in broadband speed to the next tier.

Big Bundle

The Big Bundle is the most basic package with over 110 channels, mostly free-to-air ones. The M125 broadband and Talk Weekends is also included as standard, but both can also be personalised and boosted.

TNT Sports, Sky Sports and Sky Cinema can be added for an additional cost.

Volt

Customers with both Virgin Media Broadband and an O2 pay-monthly contract can ‘supercharge’ their package with Volt.

Volt is the first joint product following the merger of Virgin Media and O2 back in June 2021. The Volt products, which replaced the old Virgin Media ‘Oomph’ bundles, give customers access to special benefits simply by being customers of both brands. Volt benefits include:

• Virgin Media broadband speed boost to the next available level (if you aren’t already on the fastest speeds you can get in your area).
• Double data on every eligible O2 Pay Monthly plan in your name, in your household.
• WiFi guarantee included at no extra cost and up to 3 WiFi pods
• Roam in 75 destinations, with O2 Travel Inclusive Zone.
• Get up to £150 off an O2 Custom Plan for a connected device when you take out a phone on a new O2 Custom Plan.

Mega Volt Bundle

Virgin Media’s pièce de résistance! Previously known as the Ultimate Volt Bundle, the Mega Volt Bundle is the full premium package of over 230 channels including Sky Sports HD, Sky Cinema HD and Kids Pick, all bundled with the lightning fast Gig1 broadband, Anytime chatter and a Netflix Standard plan. In addition you also get a totally unlimited O2 SIM.

Why choose Virgin Media TV?

Multiroom

The days of fighting over the remote are over. Add another box and watch all the channels in your TV package from any room in the house, as well as on demand shows and apps. Content can also be shared from one box to another meaning you can record in one room and watch in another.

The Virgin TV 360 experience includes one main box, but you can add a Mini box for £10 extra a month, and a second Mini box for £5 more a month.

Complex installation for new customers

If your home is already set up for Virgin then you should find installation fairly simple. If your home isn’t set up then things get a little more complicated as engineers will need to install cabling.

Not available everywhere

Whilst using it’s own cable network means people can enjoy blazingly fast speeds, the downside is it just doesn’t have the same availability as the Openreach network. Virgin Media is currently available to around 60% of UK homes, compared to BT and Sky who are between 90% and 95% of UK households.

Virgin TV 360

Virgin Media has launched their new TV platform offering 360 viewing experience.

New Virgin TV 360 features include:

• Voice Search & Control – a new remote allows you to use your voice to find the telly you love, open apps, pause, skip forward or back and breeze around content quickly.
• Profiles – family members can now create their own profiles so that they can control their own pause points, select their favourite channels and receive personalised recommendations.
• Startover – lets you skip back to the beginning of live programmes, even if they’ve already started.
• New Mini box – recordings only need to be made once and can be shared across multiple set top boxes which allows for seamless Ultra-HD multi-room viewing throughout the home.
• Upgraded Virgin TV Go app – offers a boosted on the go experience that allows customers to pause a programme on one set top box and carry on watching it on their tablet in another room or on the move.

Virgin TV 360 boxes are 4K and HDR-ready as standard and allow you to record up to 6 shows while enjoying a 7th

Virgin TV Control App
