Re: VM 360 box.
 

Not sure what ,if any the benefit would be of using virgin to stream as I guess all newish TVs will do this

Re: VM 360 box.
 

Do they? Within a single platform environment? All channels?

Re: VM 360 box.
 

I always assumed (yes yes) that a half decent internet connection plus a smart TV was all you need nowadays?

Re: VM 360 box.
 

They use other apps, so not a single platform environment. Nearest think is Freely system, which is not all TVs and not all channels.
You would have to add NOW TV app to get the Sky channels.

Re: VM 360 box.
 

VM (and Sky) provide Pay TV on 24-month contracts: you get all the TV channels plus a host of other stuff via apps, catch-up and on demand. TVs provide Freeview (Freely from some recent ones) and apps, so significantly inferior but you don't pay extra.

Re: VM 360 box.
 

Sky Stream has a 31-day rolling contract option, so you're not tied in for 24 months.

Re: VM 360 box.
 

More than I can get on my virgin setup for sure:) sorry for got about sky , but think there is the now app if not get a stick

Re: VM 360 box.
 

Virgin Media also has Flex on a rolling 30-day contract, both a genuine alternative to 24-month contracts. However in both cases you have to pay for TV.

Re: VM 360 box.
 

The central points being that a smart TV isn't the full alternative and that there are options other than 24 month contracts.

Re: VM 360 box.
 

Sorry it with the odd extra ie now TV is a much cheaper idea , not even sure I would bother with that. :shocked:

Re: VM 360 box.
 

This is about the paid-for VM service. any comparable alternative would have to also include a paid-for service.

Re: VM 360 box.
 

Sure TV have so nil cost , and now TV , for me between £5 and £7 per month . Disney + ( which l never watch) free via bank . Netflix £8 . If I didn't have this no worries watch perhaps 2 hours a week So for me TV between £13 to £15 . Sure beats virgin prices . :D
