General : TV GO via browser - requirements question

[cheekyangus]

I've had a look via the Virgin Media Help pages and I haven't found the answer.

Could someone please tell me or point me to the current Virgin Media Go technical requirements if you wish to use it via a web browser.

I see there is a Windows 10 app, but I'm interested in using it on non-Win10 equipment.

Many thanks in advance.

Just checked my bookmarks and here is a link that still works.
TV Go.
Currently watching Sky One as a check that it still works.


BBC insist that you use their iPlayer instead. Other channels might do likewise.

I had an idea/memory recollection and put Silverlight into my web search and I found tech specs for supported computers last updated in 2018.

Wonder how much things have changed since this was updated. Are there less problems now with Mac? Does Linux work?

If Chrome and Firefox don't need Silverlight on non-Windows 10 systems I assume they use HTML5 for video, and maybe whatever OS have current versions of those browsers, are compatible?

I use FF ( V74 64bit) and TV GO runs fine. Laptop with an i3 processor. No extra components needed.
