Ernest Doku, telecoms expert at Uswitch.com, comments: “Hot on the heels of Sky's bid to revolutionise entertainment with a new TV in Glass, Virgin's Stream frees consumers from the shackles of lengthy streaming services - all from a tiny device showcasing your favourite live and on-demand content.
“At a time when the cost of living crisis is really starting to squeeze households across the UK, Stream also allows its customers to keep track of and manage all of the entertainment services they use in one place.
“This will be especially useful to people who struggle to juggle payments for different entertainment services, especially if they’re not set up to leave their bank on the same day.
“With no monthly subscription fees, Stream allows you to dip in and out of each service, giving more flexibility to customers that may not want to stay subscribed to each of them throughout the year.
“Stream offers a 10% discount on your monthly bill when subscribing to platforms through the service, so customers can find savings on their bill when bundling everything together, as long as you’re a Virgin Media broadband customer, and willing to pay the initial activation fee.
“By putting the technology into a dongle similar to an Amazon Fire Stick, it means that for most people with a HDMI port in their TV, it will be straightforward to set up and easy to transfer to another TV in the home.”
