Does it cost anything? If not it looks like a kodi addon would be awesome for it.
EDIT
Ok, just signed up to have a look and it just links to the services and you have to log in. Can't really see the point of it unless i'm missing something.

I was trying to figure that out as well and I couldn't open the link.
I don't think it's anything that Virgin is ever likely to offer, though, from what I can gather.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
With the shifts I work, going out socialising is not high on list of priorities. Hence, when I get time off I do stay at home and watch TV. Whether what I watch is good or not is another question for another thread.

Good point, but have you noticed how polluted the air is out there? I think I may live longer than you although you were probably born eons later than me.
If you believe the greenist hype, that is...

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
It seems to me the biggest thing hindering higher takeup of streaming services is the fact not all devices have access to certain key streaming services.

I know this may sound strange to those who have been streaming for a while now, but I think that a lot of people out there (particularly the over 50s) who haven't really figured out how they could access these services, probably because they've not given it much thought, or maybe they believe that these services are only accessible on a computer.
Smart TVs will eventually be in all homes, and as more people get them, I'm sure that more people will become interested in the streaming options available. It is undeniable that the interest in all things on demand is increasing all the time.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Or perhaps you are underestimating the intelligence and wisdom of many of those over 50 who much prefer watching the Linear channels rather then streaming services.

Not a denier at all as there is nothing to deny as one has to bear that in a household one has to listen to other peoples TV needs as well as my good self.
