Can I stream from my iPad to Virgin stream

I’m thinking of getting Virgin Stream for my bedroom tv but the 2 main problems I’ve got with it is that I can’t watch recordings from my V6 box downstairs or watch my sport subscriptions which I have on the V6.

Now will this work ? I watch my recordings on my iPad when I’m in bed but it’s very uncomfortable, could I stream from my iPad to the Virgin stream box ? This surely will work !

thanks

  • I'm sorry, you can't have stream if you have a V6 box, Virgin only offer Stream to people with no other TV service

    Edit: You could add a second V6 box but there will be monthly costs and cabling needed.

      I had a box in my bedroom for years but removed it 2 years ago. This is stupid planning by VM , then again nothing surprises me about them !.

        Hey jtfab75, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

        As mentioned in this thread this is true. 

  • You cannot stream your own content to the Virgin Stream puck, it's for VM to stream their own content to you. It's not like a Chromecast.

  • The solution is to order multi-room with a V6 in the bedroom (or VM might insist on a migration to a 360 plus a mini).
