My review of Stream
Hello, Just an update on my original post. I’ve had Stream for a few days now, so I’ve had a chance to give it a test drive. For background, I have an Apple TV 4K box and have been happily streamin...

Hi fibrejay and iXnine
Got my Stream box this morning and have been playing ever since. I have experience of Sky Stream and Tivo V6 boxes, and this looks promising. It's taken over three hours of chatting to various levels of Virgin 'customer support' just to get this far into the installation, with the usual utterly random set of prices being quoted at me, by staff who haven't got a clue about what they're selling, but after 20 years, at least we're used to it by now. Like everybody else, I found the online package management is broken 😩 but I assume that'll be fixed soon – the web page quoted in the printed guide suggests going to virginmedia.com/manage-stream but that doesn't even exist!
Despite the inevitable setup saga, Stream could be a good route forward for me. I only really want the service to bring together the big streaming services with Sky Sports, while avoiding Now TV (which I didn't get on with at all). The current contract price for the Sky Sports channels is excellent, which is a great start, but it appears that Sky Sports News isn't included, and to get that, I need to subscribe to a channel bundle called 'Essential Entertainment' for £13.50 a month! That's just absurd.
