Pick up where I left off
I've recently signed up to Virgin Media for the Mega TV streaming deal having migrated from Sky. I'm mostly happy with the service I've received except for the fact that I now have to find the episode of the series I've recorded instead of just picking up where I left off. Is there a way to just "Continue watching"? Any advice would be gratefully received.
Which TV set top box(es) do you have?
You've posted in the Stream forum. The Stream box doesn't have a hard drive for recording purposes.
There is a continue watching rail on the Home screen. A show will stay in the Continue Watching section if there is more than 5% or 5 minutes (whichever is lowest) remaining at the point you stop watching. Previously this was 10% or 10 minutes. This change will prevent shows from disappearing too early from the Continue Watching section
You can use the TVGo app to pick up where you left off https://www.virginmedia.com/the-edit/tech-and-connectivity/virgin-tv-go-app-simple-tricks-to-improve-viewing-experience
You can save shows for later
Watching live TV is as simple as tapping Menu > Live TV and choosing a show. But if you find you don’t have time right now, the app makes it easy for you to watch later at your convenience.
- If you watch at least three minutes of a show that’s available in On Demand, just go to Saved > Continue Watching – you’ll find it here.
- To find shows in On Demand, tap Box Sets & Movies and simply pick the show or film you want to watch.
- Find the show you want and add it to your Watchlist by tapping the + button. To watch it, tap Saved > Watchlist. Your Watchlist is synced across all your Virgin TV Go devices.
