After a lot of beta testing, broadband ISP Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2) UK has today officially launched their new TV streaming (IPTV) product – called ‘Stream<\/em>‘ – that makes popular TV channels, on-demand apps, and movies available to customers via a single small set-top-box – all via your internet connection on a 30-day rolling contract.<\/p>\n

The service, which appears to use a modified version of the palm-sized “mini box<\/em>” device that VMO2 already offers alongside their premium Virgin TV 360<\/strong> service, is a similar solution to that of Sky’s rival NOW TV<\/a> platform, albeit one that is only available to Virgin Media<\/a>’s own broadband customers (at least for now). We leaked many of the details for this last year (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Stream will officially go live for new and existing customers to order tomorrow. You’ll be able to add Stream for a one-off activation fee of just \u00a335<\/strong>, with no ongoing cost beyond the streaming services you choose to subscribe to. Stream also includes “Stream Credit<\/em>“, which offers customers a 10% saving on their subscriptions when they add them via their Virgin Media<\/a> Bill.<\/p>\n

The box and related remote support some familiar features too, such as Voice Search and Control, Profiles and Watchlists. Customers with Stream can also manage their entertainment across devices via the ‘My Virgin Media<\/em>‘ app, simply using the app to add and remove TV subscriptions to suit their needs.<\/p>\n

In terms of what the channels, apps, prices and content look like..<\/p>\n

\"Virgin-Media-Stream-Prices-and-Channels\"<\/p>\n

Sadly, this sort of box lacks the same video recording capabilities as its bigger brother, although thanks to on-demand content such features aren’t as important as they once were.<\/p>\n

David Bouchier, Chief TV & Entertainment Officer at VMO2, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“At a time of endless entertainment choice and a strain on household budgets, we\u2019re putting viewers first. Stream customers will only pay for the entertainment they choose and can pocket monthly savings on the content they add \u2013 it is a truly flexible and personal way to enjoy the entertainment that matters most, at great value.<\/p>\n

Stream is more than just a new TV service, it\u2019s whole new way to enjoy connected entertainment. More than ever, content and connectivity go hand in hand and with Stream we\u2019re delivering the best of both.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stream looks like a reasonable enough service, unless you’re already committed to a similar solution like NOW TV<\/a> – one that isn’t tied to a specific ISP, but it’s still good to have options. Speaking of options, it’s worth remembering that Sky will, later this year, be making their full TV service available over broadband – without the need to take Sky Glass<\/a><\/strong> – via their ‘puck’ streaming boxes (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, Virgin’s announcement and the stated subscriptions make no mention of 4K (UltraHD) content and prices, which is an issue that we also spotted during the beta testing phase. We had hoped that they might resolve this in time for launch (the box itself can handle 4K), but it seems like they haven’t. We’re seeking some clarification, since only being able to offer HD is disappointing.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2:32pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virgin informs that there’s no additional cost for the 4K channels on Stream. Virgin TV Ultra HD is in the essential entertainment pack, and BT<\/a> Sport Ultimate comes with the standard BT<\/a> sport add-on. If customers want Netflix in Ultra HD then they can subscribe to the top Netflix tier through Virgin Media also.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
