About this app

A must-have app for all Virgin TiVo & V6 customers

The Virgin TV Control app means you can control your TiVo or Virgin TV V6 box from anywhere in the world, wherever you have an internet connection with WiFi, 3G or 4G.
The Best Bits

As a Virgin TV customer, this app lets you:

• Manage your recordings – set up a Series Link+ from anywhere in the world when
you’re connected to the internet
• Control your TV – if your TiVo box is connected to the same home network as your
device you can turn your mobile or tablet into a handy remote control
• Speed up the way you search and browse – search using your device’s QWERTY
keypad instead of the remote
• If you have a Virgin TV V6 box powered by TiVo you can stream selected recordings to
your device
• The app connects directly to your TiVo or Virgin TV V6 box so that you can see if there
is a recording clash or storage space is low
What you need
• Be a Virgin TiVo or V6 customer - note that Virgin TV 360 customers can use Virgin TV Go to manage recordings
• An Android mobile or tablet running Android OS 8 & above with WiFi internet in the
UK
• Your My Virgin Media username and password

For security reasons, and to protect the rights of our content partners, the Virgin TV Control app cannot be used on jailbroken devices, where unauthorised modifications have been made to the operating system.

Ratings and reviews

I don't use the app very often, but when I do the repeatedly annoying message to set up the streaming service seriously lacks a "Do not show this message again" option. I have no intention of setting up a streaming service. If I did change my mind, then the option in the Settings menu should facilitate that.

Handy for setting a program to record. Had it a year now, still can't get to watch TV on it!!! It has outbursts, when you try and set a recording the app closes down, when it's in this mood, this can happen many, many times, and will not be persuaded! And its still doing it now. If it doesn't work its pointless. Ok apparently I wanted an update on the app. Am I missing something here, or will the app no longer set your virgin box to record etc. This updated effort seems far from intuitive, blah!

This app used to be usable and the ability to look at the guide and manage recordings really useful. Since it was updated earlier this year the guide is unusable as the right arrow to move forward 30 mins is no longer on the screen. They just need to resize the GUI to allow some space at the edges. I keep trying again every now and then to see if they have fixed it but just going to delete the app now
