Questions about Stream

Hey there everyone,

I'm looking to sign up for the Stream box but I have a couple of questions for you.

My questions are:

  • Can I watch all of the normal Live TV channels that I can normally get on the 360 service.
  • Am I able to record or use the Virgin Media on-demand service.
  • How do add-ons work? Are they the same price as they would be on the 360 service or would they cost more.

Thanks.

    There's a list of the TV channels on the following page 

    /virgin-tv-edit/tips-and-tricks/stream-from-virgin-media-channel-guide 

    The free channels are in column 1. The additional Essential Entertainment channels cost £15 a month and they are shown in column 2.
    Am I able to record or use the Virgin Media on-demand service
    The Flex (Switch) boxes don't have a hard drive so cannot record programs, however most are available via catch up/on demand
    How do add-ons work? Are they the same price as they would be on the 360 service or would they cost more.
    Sky Sports SD is £31.75 a month.  If you want to add HD then it's an additional £7 a  month.  Sky Sports Ultra HD (add-on to Sky Sports) an additional £7/month
    TNT Sports is an additional £18 a month a month (the channels are all in HD and include TNT Sports Ultimate) 
    Sky Cinema HD £21.00 a month 
    Sky Sports HD + Sky Cinema SD bundle: £39.25/month or HD bundle £46.25  
    Premier Sports: £15.99/month
     Kids Pick: £5/month 
    Netflix Standard (HD) plan at £10.99/month or the Premium (4K) plan at £17.99/month. 
    Disney+ Premium £10.99 a month

    There's a 10% saving which is applied to your monthly bill for any full price addons such as Sky Sports, TNT Sports, and Essential Entertainment that you take and pay through VM.
