There’s good news for anyone who uses Virgin’s TV platforms. The firm has just announced that it is finally matching Sky with the launch of Paramount+ on its set-top devices.
Sky has featured this streaming app since last year with it fully integrated into its Q, Stream and Glass devices. Sky Cinema customers even get access to this premium service without paying anything extra.
Now Virgin is joining the party by offering Paramount+ directly via its set-top box as well. That means users can watch endless content right from the Virgin home screen.
If you’ve not heard of Paramount+ then it’s very similar to services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Disney+.
For a fee of £6.99 per month, subscribers get instant access to a swathe of boxsets, Hollywood films, shows and documentaries.
Right now, there’s content including Yellowstone, Yellowjackets, HALO and Tulsa King, as well as blockbuster movies like Top Gun: Maverick and the Mission Impossible films.
There’s also more coming soon with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; original UK drama No Escape - adapted from Lucy Clarke’s best-selling novel of the same title - and new docuseries The Family Stallone which will all arrive in the coming weeks and months.
If you have Virgin Media TV and want to give it a try you can log into your Virgin account for more information about signing up.
Speaking about the launch, David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2, said: “Offering our customers access to the latest and greatest programmes in one easy, convenient place has long been a focus for us. 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.”
