Set up, manage and even delete recordings wherever you are, thanks to the Virgin TV Control app
Virgin TV Control app
We’ve all been there. You’re out experiencing all the thrills and excitement a trip to the supermarket has to offer, and then it hits you – your team is playing on the telly and you forgot to set the game to record. Talk about an own goal.
But what if we told you all is not lost? The Virgin TV Control app allows you to set up, manage and even delete recordings on your Virgin TV V6 or TiVo® box from anywhere you might find yourself, meaning you won’t miss a single second of the match.
And if your Android or iOS device is connected to the same home network as your box, you can even use it as an advanced remote control! This means you can search for shows using a QWERTY keyboard – a much faster way of finding the live, Catch Up or On Demand show you’re after – and launch them straight onto your TV screen from within the app. You can even change the channel from another room to thoroughly confuse your partner/housemates/children.
If you’ve got a Virgin TV V6 box, you can use the app to watch selected recordings while connected to your home WiFi. You can even download them at home and then watch them through the app while on the go!
Intrigued? Then read on to find out how to download the app and get watching!
