Why Virgin Media Entertainment Is Great for Everyday TV
From drama to documentaries, Virgin Media's Entertainment TV package delivers the channels people actually watch — bundled with broadband that keeps every screen in the house happy.
What Entertainment gives you
Virgin Media Entertainment is the entry point into proper Virgin TV — a curated stack of popular channels covering drama, comedy, lifestyle, kids' content and general entertainment, without paying for premium sport or movies you might rarely watch.
It's built for households that want live TV and catch-up alongside streaming — the best of both worlds on one bill.
Channels you'll recognise
Entertainment bundles typically include the kind of channels that dominate evening viewing: major free-to-air names plus premium entertainment tiers that carry US drama, reality TV and specialist factual content.
Having them in a bundle often works out cheaper than stacking individual streaming subscriptions that still don't give you live TV or same-day broadcast shows.
Virgin TV 360 experience
Virgin TV 360 is Virgin Media's next-gen TV platform — a single main box with mini boxes for other rooms, voice control, and seamless switching between live, recorded and on-demand content.
Entertainment pairs with this experience, so you're not just getting channels — you're getting a polished way to find and watch them.
Powered by full-fibre broadband
TV today is as much about on-demand and apps as live channels. Virgin Media's broadband keeps your TV boxes updated, streams in 4K where available, and handles every phone and tablet in the house simultaneously.
No point paying for great TV if the connection buffers every time someone opens TikTok — Virgin's own network helps avoid that frustration.
Get £50 when you join
Entertainment packages qualify for the Virgin Media refer-a-friend scheme. Order through a referral link and you could both receive £50 cash after installation — a welcome boost when upgrading your home setup.
