Virgin Media has added a further 11 new channels to its Virgin TV Anywhere service, including channels from ITV, A&E Networks UK and Viacom International Media Networks.
It’s a significant move for ITV to join the platform, bringing with it ITV, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4. With Channel 4 and Channel 5 already available, this leaves only the BBC among the public broadcasters that are not currently present on the cloud based service.
MTV, Nickelodeon, History and BIO are also now available.
Virgin TV customers can access Virgin TV Anywhere through the web or, for the 1.5 million customers with Virgin Media TiVo, through a mobile and tablet app.
Scott Kewley, Virgin Media’s multiscreen product director, said: “The latest channels to join Virgin TV Anywhere are brimming with top soaps, documentaries and comedy and follow hot on the heels of the 21 channels we added to the service in April. When paired with a Virgin Media TiVo box, we believe TV Anywhere offers our best, most interactive entertainment experience yet.”
The mobile and tablet app is available on iOS devices such as the iPad and will be coming to Android devices later this year.
