Virgin’s TV Anywhere app has evolved into Virgin TV Control, while the new Virgin TV Go app enables on-the-fly viewing from a smartphone or tablet.

Virgin is making its (and subsequently your) TV experience more versatile with two new apps that bring improved control from a smartphone or tablet.

The Virgin TV Go lets you stream TV on up to two online devices (smartphones or tablets) at the same time - a bit like Sky Q's original 'Fluid Viewing' concept, then.

The Virgin TV Control app, meanwhile, lets owners of a 4K Virgin TV V6 or TiVo set-top box use a smartphone or tablet (connected to the same home network) as a remote control to perform general playback functions, manage existing Series Links, and watch and set recordings through the device.
