Apple tv

Is the above now on Virgin Stream, if it is is it Apple TV+ or Apple TV as the plus one is a cut down version?

  • Hi Stephen93 

    It's the Apple TV+ app.

    See https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/apple-tv-now-available-on-virgin-media/ 

    There are actually three Apple products which have highly similar names, though there are definitely differences between Apple TV, Apple TV+, and the Apple TV app.

    Apple TV+ is a subscription streaming service with only Apple original Apple movies and series

    With Apple TV  (a physical product which acts much like a firestick) you get a complete package  as you can also stream content from third parties..

    With the Apple TV app you can rent the latest movies and access paid add on subscriptions, so you can stream some shows and movies from Apple’s partners like HBO (if available in your region) without bouncing you out to a third-party video service.

  • Apple TV is available via Stream.

    Not sure which version as my shows are instantly available from sign in.

      I’ve got 3 Apple TV 4K boxes, use them all the time, does Stream have a thumbnail of what you’re watching & once you’ve viewed it it deletes & the next episode appears?
