Virgin Media TV 360 is now the only box offered to customers wanting a TV service from Virgin Media. It provides access to hundreds of free-to-air and subscription channels, as well as a range of TV streaming apps including BBC iPlayer and Netflix. And the multiroom option means you can start watching TV in one room and pick up another, and the Vir...
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. You can also verbally search for specific shows or specific genres, such as police dramas or reality TV. You can also search your recorded shows, request a programme to be recorded, turn subtitles on or off, and even tu...
We hate the remote
So, sure, voice search works great. However, we strongly dislike the remote. It's going to be subjective, this, but we tend to get a 'feel' for where the buttons are due to placement, shape, feel, and over time no longer have to look down at the remote to operate commonly used commands. Or have to switch the light on if you're doing the dark room, cinematic thing. While the remote is perfectly functional, many of the buttons are flat to the surface with no gaps between them, meaning you can't...
Quite simply, Virgin Media TV 360 is available to anyone who can get Virgin Media broadband. This is important because you cannot get Virgin Media TV with a different broadband provider – you have to sign up for Virgin Media broadband and TV in a bundle. Virgin Media claims to cover around 60% of the UK with its services. Note, however, that even i...
Virgin Media’s TV 360 box is the third generation set-top box offered to customers. 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...
Aug 7, 2024 · Set-top box Virgin TV 360. Virgin's TV 360 box is, in short, unmatched when compared to other DVR boxes with recording functionality. We're not going to say unrivalled, because Sky's 2TB Sky Q box can match it blow-for-blow, and both come with voice-activated remote controls, but the TV 360 box comes free with every Virgin Media TV and ...
