    Hi Mobes 

    Stream can be added to all VM broadband deals that don’t already include TV, so you can't use them alongside V6, tivo or TV360 boxes.   

    In previous posts of yours you've mentioned problems with a V6 box so it looks like you have both a V6 and the older tivo box.  You would need to cancel them before switching to Stream.

    If you did want to cancel your current TV subscription and sign up to Stream then you would only have one VM TV set top box. The Stream box doesn't have a hard drive so can't record programs. The additional Sky Sports channels are available on the Stream box on a rolling 30 day contract, currently £34.99 a month, although a 10 per cent reduction on that cost would be deducted from your bill each month, See https://www.virginmedia.com/tv/stream 

    (At present it's only one Stream box per household apart from customers who are on the XGS-PON network and on the Mega bundle. They can't get the TV through the cable network, only over IPTV and are allowed additional Stream boxes).
