Virgin Media launches TV Anywhere

UK pay TV operator Virgin Media is launching a new multiscreen service this autumn.

The cable company’s Virgin TV Anywhere platform is a video streaming service that will offer content and services to various connected devices over WiFi. The website and app will include 30 live channels and over 2,000 hours of on-demand content and will be made available to all Virgin Media customers for no extra charge.

TiVo customers will be offered extra services, including the ability to manage recordings and to control the DVR via the app.

Virgin TV Anywhere will launch initially on Apple devices, with an Android launch expected next year.
