See which channels you can watch with Flex and where to find them on our Stream box with your handy channel guide
By Virgin TV Edit
With so much on the box, it’s always helpful to be up to speed on where you can find all the great channels available to you. And with Flex, we’ve packed all your favourite channels and entertainment subscriptions into one clever little box.
A reminder that Stream from Virgin Media is now called Flex. The change is nothing to worry about – you’ll still be able to enjoy your favourite TV content in the same way as you do today.

Our STORE section, meanwhile, has the latest titles to buy or rent straight from the cinema.
Don’t forget My Watchlist also lets you save your TV guide picks, On Demand gems and app favourites so you can create your own personal playlist of great content.
