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.

Utter tripe. When trying to set recordings from this app it chooses a totally different channel from the one you have clicked. The channels I want to set recordings are just not able to be clicked on. Can't believe such a big tech company can't create s simple TV app. Shameful!!! Amendment:- New app update has made it 100% better than the old one. Really easy to use and everything works as it should. Let's hope it stays like this!!!!

The app has lots of good features, i just wish it worked! takes an age to sign in and connect, and despite asking it to remember my password, it forgets every other time. Once its eventually up and running, streaming to a phone will cut out and crash 4 times in a half hour show. Remotely setting things to record has always worked well and great if you're out and forget somethings on (that's assuming you can open the app before the show finishes)! Needs some improvements and bug fixes.

I loved this app because it allowed me to schedule recordings. Sadly since Virgin upgraded my Tivo box to their latest 360 this app is no longer compatible. As the new app stupidely doesn't allow recording I've lost most of what I loved. If you still have your Tivo I recommend you stick with it otherwise you will loose many features and won't get them back.
