Why would Virgin Media even consider this, unless you are willing to pay a MultiRoom charge for access to their services on a second TV?
Thanks for your welcome.
Your reply doesn't really help. I just thought that a tv that was based on the android platform, had the google play store pre installed (and therefore the virgin tv app available via play store) would naturally be able to run the app as one of my 5 devices allowed within my Virgin media package. Has the virgin technical team tested that scenario and if not could it be tested and appropriate advice published please?
I understand the discussion around revenues gained via a multi room sale but I already have this. Any comments?
Thanks

It is unlikely you will get any technical discussion from VM that provides TV access via a “back door” process.
TV Go is specifically for use on portable devices. It is not just a revenue loser in that VM loses out on multi room subscriptions. It also has carriage agreement implications with regards the broadcasters that VM deals with. These agreements specify that access via a TV should be restricted to the address where the the account is held. So for obvious reasons VM are not going to publicise a way for you to break their agreements with the broadcasters, as TV Go can be used anywhere.
Just think yourself lucky that Android has a security hole that nobody has got round to plugging yet😀
