Multiple stream boxes.

When will Virgin come out of the dark ages & allow multiple stream boxes?

Alternatively why can't you use Virgin go on a smart TV or a firestick.

The only solution I can see, other than going to 360 and having to run coax cable round the house, is to move to Sky.

Anybody found a solution that works with Virgin?

    VM's solution for multiroom TV is TV360 is one master-box for recording and additional mini-boxes to slave off them.

    Stream was launched primarily as a bolt-on for broadband-only customers.

    This is likely to happen when VM moves all customers to XGS-PON services. This also opens the possibility of cloud recording.

    Not going to happen. VMs broadcast agreements don’t allow it.

    Or wait a year or two when Stream will be the only option.
