But now there’s more entertainment to access.

Wonder is the first, where viewers can find programmes on groundbreaking engineering, innovative technology, and scientific exploration.
And the second is Red Bull TV, which shows motorsport, biking, snowboarding, and more.

Wonder can be found on channel number 238 while Red Bull TV sits at number 556.
Both channels are now visible in Virgin Media’s TV guide, as well as searchable via voice control.
Only last month, customers gained two more channels devoted to Eggheads and Hell’s Kitchen respectively.
Other streamed channels on boxes since last year include Tipping Point and Deal or No Deal.
“We’re always looking to offer Virgin TV customers the best entertainment, so we’ve added two more action packed streaming channels for them to tune in to and enjoy,” said David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2.
“With Wonder and Red Bull TV, we’ve got back-to-back inspirational and awe-inspiring stories from around the globe providing customers with even more round-the-clock viewing to enjoy at no extra cost.”
Stream swapping – the easy way to cut your bills?
Here’s what Sean Keach, The Sun’s Head of Technology and Science, thinks…
It’s no secret that TV streaming apps are costing more and more.
Not only are prices shooting up, but we find ourselves asked to pay for an increasing number of apps and services.
And when you combine those TV bills with your music streaming, mobile and internet fees, and every other drain on your bank account, it all starts to get a bit much.
One of the best ways to cut your TV bills is to simply cancel all of your streaming subscriptions and only sign up to one per month.
Pick an app like Netflix, Disney+, or Apple TV+ and smash through all of the content you want to watch on that app.
Then the next month, swap to something else.
And once you’ve done them all, you can cycle back to the start again.
It’s an easy way to avoid forking out for a rolling library of streaming apps with more content than you could possibly watch.
Also don’t forget that paid-for streaming isn’t the only game in town.
There are loads of apps that don’t cost a penny to enjoy, and downloading a few will unlock thousands of live TV channels plus tens of thousands of movies and shows.
Try apps like Tubi, The Roku Channel, Plex, and Pluto TV to get some ad-supported television without having to pay any monthly fees.
