Virgin, why on earth would anyone want to watch their TV through the Virgin tv go app over the TV that’s already in the house!? Seriously the Product manager should be embarrassed. If this is not the intended MVP, I’d seriously suggest changing the name. IE Remove GO. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-08-18, version 5.28.14607* Been using tv go for years, mostly due to me travelling for work and it was handy, vpn on and go, boom. Now got the latest tv box. And it doesn’t work, nor does the remote control app. Yes they still charge more than the previous setup I had. Yet their app will not tell me my account can no longer use these apps, why NOT?? ### 1/5 — Another disappointing Virgin Experience *2026-08-08, version 5.28.14607* I can stream on every other platform, including free ones bbc, itv etc. I try this one and it’s constantly going to circle spinning. Not even making it to buffering and stop / start. For a media company this is a very poor effort, but from comments it is par for the course ### 1/5 — Truly awful *2026-08-02, version 5.28.14607* Constant sign in loop just keep typing email address when trying to sign in never get as far as giving password. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-07-29, version 5.28.14607* Complete rubbish don’t download if you want to use on the go as it will only let you watch stuff recorded if your on you home WiFi network….. Completely pointless🫤🫤 ### 1/5 — What’s the point? *2026-07-26, version 5.27.14307* Advertised as TV on the Go….couldn’t be further from the truth. Most things need to either be watched live, or you need to be connected to your home network to watch anything that’s been on already. Kind of defeats the whole point of it. If you miss the beginning, you can’t start watching from beginning like other TV channel suppliers apps and lots of channels you have to log into a different site to watch (such as SkySports). Could be so much better…if Virgin were to just put some thought and effort into it. Overall, disappointing and not worth downloading. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-07-23, version 5.27.14307* If I could give it zero stars I would. What’s the point of calling the app Virgin Media GO if you can’t GO anywhere. Absolutely sick of getting the “sorry-we can’t play this at the moment” on everything I’ve recorded or the can only play on tv error. It’s honestly useless unless you’re watching a programme live ### 1/5 — Back page arrow under iOS three dots *2026-07-21, version 5.27.14307* The back page arrow is under the iOS three dots and can not be accessed when using. Virgin please address. ### 1/5 — Utterly pointless *2026-07-14, version 5.27.14307* With the old Virgin TiVo boxes I could set the box to record remotely whenever I wanted/needed to. With the new boxes all you get when you try to record something is a message telling you the box is asleep and so you can’t set it to record until the box is awake. If I was by the box to wake it up I wouldn’t need to set it remotely in the first place, would I, so what exactly is the point of this app given that watching tv back (when that works, guess what, the box has to be on then too) can be managed by any other number of apps? ### 5/5 — Why low rating? *2026-07-11, version 5.27.14307* Don’t get why the rating is only 3 star it does everything it’s suppose to do and can watch live tv and movies from anywhere. What else do you want it to do??? ## Frequently asked questions about Virgin TV Go ### What devices can I use Virgin TV Go on?
