Virgin TV Anywhere, Virgin Media’s web-based catch up service, has added MTV, Channel 4 and 19 extra digital TV channels to its line up.
The 21 extra live channels means that 66 channels are now available for Virgin Media subscribers to watch online.
SyFy brings the likes of Defiance and Lost Girl to the mix while the arrival of Channel 4 and More4 will satisfy those cravings for One Born Every Minute and repeats of Father Ted.
Scott Kewley, Virgin Media’s multiscreen product director, said: “We know our customers love being able to watch whatever they want at a time that suits them, and by adding 21 live channels to Virgin TV Anywhere at no extra cost we’re also enabling them to watch their favourite shows wherever they want too.”
The new channels are as follows:
- Animal Planet
