The Netflix app is now ready to roll on Virgin Media’s Horizon TV service at the flick of a button on channels 999 and 300. Other than your standard monthly Netflix subscription fee, there’s no extra cost. Non-Netflix customers will also be able to sign up to the Virgin Media service through the app.
“This brings your Netflix streaming subscription straight onto your TV. With thousands of films, box sets and TV shows to watch instantly, it’s one of the best ways to enjoy all your favourites,” said Paul Farrell, Vice President at Virgin Media.
“You’ve got all your Netflix exclusives like Marvel, Luke Cage, Stranger Things, Black Mirror and House of Cards – and that’s just for starters. Netflix is even better when you can watch it seamlessly on Virgin Media’s Horizon TV service or you can watch it on any device anytime, anywhere you can get online.”
He added, “We’re thrilled to bring Netflix straight to our customers and right on time for Christmas. Netflix has consistently ranked Virgin Media as the Number 1 network to watch Netflix on in Ireland. Our customers recognise that great entertainment needs the fastest broadband and we’re constantly improving the connected entertainment experience for them in their homes.”
Ireland is the first country to introduce Netflix to customers this way with the new app, as part of Liberty Global’s new partnership with Netflix, which will lead to the roll out of the app to customers in more than 30 countries around the world.
