Multiroom streaming
Virgin offers the option to add up to two Virgin TV Mini boxes to your account, giving you the means to watch your TV in three different rooms all at the same time. However, these do come at an additional monthly cost – same as Sky in that respect really. In addition, customers can download the free Virgin TV Go app and register on up to five different devices, from tablets and laptops to games consoles and desktop computers, although you can only stream on two devices at any one time.
Voice search and control
The remote for Virgin Media 360 is equipped with a microphone button, which, when pressed, enables the user to issue voice commands. For example, if you want it to open up Netflix, simply say 'Netflix', or if you want to go to a certain channel, simply speak that channel name.

While the remote is perfectly functional, many of the buttons are flat to the surface with no gaps between them, meaning you can't...

Virgin Media claims to cover around 60% of the UK with its services. Note, however, that even i...

Physically, it is much the same in dimensions as the chunky V6 box, and still has a 3.5mm headphone jack, one HDMI output and one Ethernet port. What’s different is the ability to create multiple profiles, to start watching a live TV from the start, a remote control...
Virgin Media’s latest TV box offers a modest technological leap forward from the previous V6 box. You can enjoy using an impressive array of voice commands, which was not a feature on the V6. There is the option to set up numerous user profiles, but on the downside any recordings made under each profile are simply lumped together, which could prove...
