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 TV customer • An Android mobile or tablet running Android OS 4.4 & above with WiFi internet in the UK • Your My Virgin Media username and password
