But, there are Video on Demand products, and there are watch on tablet options - can they Chromecast?
Is there really no "TV" product that sells movies on demand and subscription content over virgin media broadband and doesn't require a box? I'd love to be able to consolidate the subscriptions that I currently have.
No, there isn’t. Virgin, Sky, Freeview & the like are BROADCAST providers. All the channels are carried all the time in the cable, & the box contains multiple CATV tuners to decode these as required. Hence these boxes do not use Broadband capacity. On Demand is the only part that uses your hub to access the content. Virgin have agreements with the broadcasters that allow some streaming to portable devices (tablets & phones) but this does not extend to TVs via any third party streaming device.
Virgin BB TV Landline. Freeview/Freesat HD, Virgin Mobile, Tesco Mobile. Cable customer since 1993
