TORONTO — Bell Canada’s Virgin Internet subscribers in Ontario and Quebec can now watch live and on-demand TV shows, including live sports, on the screen of their choice with the launch of Virgin TV.
Starting at $35 per month, the core Virgin TV package includes more than 50 channels, including TSN, Sportsnet, CTV Drama Channel, CP24, Food Network, HGTV, TLC and all the major Canadian and U.S. networks. Subscribers have access to more than 240 live and on-demand channels, which they can add à la carte or with add-on packages.
The app-based Virgin TV service is available exclusively to Virgin Internet members with 15 Mbps or higher Unlimited Virgin Internet plans. The service doesn’t require a traditional TV set-top box or installation, and works on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, laptops, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Android TV, Apple TV and Google Chromecast.
Available at the App Store and Google Play, the Virgin TV app lets subscribers watch two streams at once, pause and rewind live TV, resume on-demand programs, and track top trending shows.
“We’re super excited to offer members a new way to get all their favourite TV anywhere, anytime and at a great price, all with our easy to use Virgin TV app,” said Jennifer Posnikoff, Virgin’s director of marketing, in the news release. “With access to the top TV shows, the return of live major league sports, special events and all kinds of on-demand content, Virgin TV lets you watch like a boss at home or on the go.”
