It apparently can take up to 24 hours (according to Google) for it to reach all servers that run the Play Store.

Don't know if it's quicker letting you know, any idea when 4.4 will be supported :D

When I had VM TV and the iOS app what I hated was not being able to view over a 3G/4G signal. Since moving to Sky and having Sky Go now, I am finally able to watch stuff anywhere I get a mobile signal. VM's lack of this feature is a real let down and in my opinion they need to rename it to something more appropriate as it certainly isn't TV Anywhere, unless you've always got a wifi/bb connection.

I couldn't find it on the Play Store either, try the below:-

Put http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ in your browser

Enter "com.virginmedia.tvanywhere" (with out the quotes) and click "Generate Download Link"

You will need to enable "Unknown sources" in Settings -> Security.

Well got it installed, glad it's here at last! Had a quick play and it looks good. My phone is on wifi at work and streaming is working on my Samsung S3 mini so a good start. The lack of Sky Sports streaming is a big miss for me though.

It is isn't it.

Surely that should have been the first point on the list of essential 'can dos'.

A big old '3G' bullet point!

If you do it that way you probably won't get update notifications for it when they are released.

I just went to https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...dia.tvanywhere from my phone browser and installed from there

I won't hold my breath for updates, its taken for ever to get this far.

All this time waiting and I'll have to wait some more as Kitkat is not supported.

Also, to those complaining about no streaming over 3/4G, wasn't there a post possibly in this thread saying if you tether your phone to your tablet you can use said tablet to watch TV anywhere??

When I read that I thought it was a great loophole ;)

Looks like I'll only be missing out on an overhyped remote control anyway because it says my HTC One X+ isn's supported for streaming.

Christ, what an absolute shambles.

At least my wife's s3 is supported save her using my iPhone to change the sodding channel.
