Virgin Media TV Size L

100 digital TV channels without a phone line

With over 100 digital TV channels on offer, the Virgin Media TV Size L will provide you with more entertainment than you can shake a stick at.

You can pick this package and benefit from reduced monthly costs as it is available without a Virgin Media phone line which would require addition line rental charges over the 12 month minimum contract.

You will need to pay for installation, but the set top V Box is free, as is access to an on demand video service that allows you to catch up with shows that hit the air over the previous week.

Parental controls will let you limit what your kids can watch and because this is a digital service there are many interactive elements to enjoy.

More about Virgin Media TV Size L

It might be possible to discuss the merits of the large number of TV stations included in the Size L digital package from Virgin Media, but to keep things brief we will focus on the major inclusions in the list that you might not get on some of the cheaper Virgin packages.

Firstly there are 7 different Discovery channels for those who love animals, inventions, space exploration and history. Then there is access to several Eurosport channels, as well as the Extreme Sports network, which shows some of the most far out action from all four corners of the globe.

These channels augment what is an already impressive line up of terrestrial freeview channels from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five. To top it all off you can watch dramas and comedies on Sky 1 and keep the kids quiet with Nickelodeon or The Cartoon Network.

For the full line up, head to the Virgin Media site before you sign up. To watch all of these great channels you will need to connect the V Box to your television and new customers will receive this device free of charge when they begin their 12 month service.

The V Box will allow you to watch shows as they are being broadcast, but you can also use the remote to access Virgin Media's 7 day catch up service. This is essentially a compilation of the most popular television shows which were aired over the preceding week and you can choose any that you missed and watch them in their entirety at a time that suits you.

This is a completely free service available to all Virgin Media TV customers and it incorporates the BBC iPlayer service which has quickly become recognised as the industry standard for catch-up television.

If you wish to add in extras, such as Sky Sports, ESPN or Sky Movies, then this can easily be done at any time, although you will have to pay the related charges for any premium channels that are not included in the basic Size L line up.

If you want access to even more entertainment on tap then the PictureBox on demand movie add-on might interest you. As with the catch up TV function, you can begin watching whenever is convenient and there are always new films being added to the library of available features.

This too will cost extra each month, although there are 28 monthly viewings on offer. All of these channels plus the option extras will come as part of a single monthly bill and since there is no Virgin Media phone service there is no line rental to pay in addition.
