As it stands you can only have one stream box.

There is no multiroom option with stream, therefore the only way to have it in their room is move the box to their room.

Can I watch via another device such as a PC or tablet or mobile phone and cast to TV?

You can use the Virgin Go app with stream, I am sure casting is not possible. Certainly isn't via iPad

Hi Pete 🙂

I'm afraid you can't cast Sky Sports, but I've found I can connect both a laptop and a PC via HDMI cable to the TV and watch Sky Sports.

why are we having these issues in 2023, every device should be able to play anything these days

IF an app has more than 100k subscribers it should be mandatory to have on your Stream box  ie. Discovery+, Eurosport App etc.

 

and i should be able to buy 5 stream boxes and use them all under my houses IP address

These are not VMs restrictions. They are the broadcasters/channel owners restrictions. The boxes belong to VM, you just rent them. Hence you cannot just put anything you like on them. Everything is subject to a wholesale agreement. Apps & their development for Horizon use is also at the expence of each broadcaster.

I'm inclined to think that you'd be better served with a 360 box and a mini box in the kids' bedroom. And if you know what programmes you want you just record them (always better than using Catchup).
