Community Update: Upcoming Downtime
Hi everyone 👋 Just a heads‑up that the community will have some downtime at the end of the month. We’re moving to a new platform as our agreement with the current provider is ending. This migration will take a little while as we move everything over. The community will switch to read‑only next week before going offline for a bit. We’re also taking this opportunity to bring the Virgin Media and O2 communities together. Our aim is to merge as much as we can - posts, stats, member accounts, the lot. Thanks so much for everything you’ve contributed so far. From me and the whole community team, we really appreciate it - and we’ll see you on the other side!Watch the men's Champions League, Europa League and Conference League Finals at no extra cost
The business end of the football season is upon us and over the next two weeks, you can catch all three UEFA Finals at no extra cost through Virgin TV. With plenty of home involvement in the Europa League and Conference League Finals, and two attack minded sides meeting in the Champions League Final, the stage is well set for a thrilling finale to the season. Kicking things off, we have an all-English affair in the Europa League Final on Wednesday 21 st May in Bilbao. Manchester United and Tottenham have had underwhelming seasons domestically and currently sit 16 th and 17 th place in the Premier League table. With little to cheer about at home, both sides have looked to the continent for comfort over the past few weeks, and with a spot in next year’s Champions League awaiting the winner, there is plenty riding on this final. Then next week it is the Conference League Final on Wednesday 28 th May in Wrocław between Chelsea and Real Betis. Chelsea have cruised through to the final scoring 38 goals across 12 games and will be expecting victory in Poland. Finals don’t always follow the script however and Real Betis, looking for their first ever European trophy, have been in good form since February and impressively knocked out Fiorentina in the semi-finals. Finally, on Saturday 31 st May it is the Champions League Final between PSG and Inter Milan in Munich. PSG have made a habit of knocking English sides out of the competition this year having defeated Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal on their way to the final, and begin the match as favourites. Inter Milan, meanwhile, conceded six but scored seven to eliminate Barcelona over two epic semi-final legs to reach Munich. Any more drama like that and we will be in for a treat. How to watch The matches will be available to view in HD on channel 527 for all V6, 360 and Stream customers as well as on the usual TNT Sport channels for TNT Sport subscribers, including in ultra high definition on TNT Sport Ultimate (channel 525).

Huzzah! 🍾 After many years (8!) on the previous iteration, we’re delighted to announce our Virgin Media Community has had an upgrade. 2011 (courtesy of waybackmachine 😊) 2014 2015 Aside from the fact that it's been a while, it’s also given us an opportunity to greatly simplify things and put everything on a crash diet 🍔; We’ve reduced the number of different layouts (over 20 😱) to around 5. This should mean it’s easier to get to grips with particularly for newer users. We’ve removed a lot of redundant background code ❌ that should speed it up as well 🏎. It also allows us to do platform updates in the future without a constant fear 😱 of something breaking. No more going backwards to go forwards! ⏪ There’s now a persistent navigation bar along the top on desktop view or within the menu bar on mobile view so it reduces the instances where you need to go back to a previous page to navigate the site.
