Virgin Media are the one of the largest entertainment companies in the UK and for those of you who have Virgin TV the mobile Virgin TV Anywhere service is an essential for watching cable TV on the go. Unfortunately even though it is titled “Anywhere” it doesn’t actually work anywhere.
If you want to watch Virgin TV Anywhere abroad you’ll be sorely disappointed as even though the name suggests you can watch anywhere, abroad isn’t included in that “anywhere” description.
I always find it odd that when you pay for a subscription TV service you can’t actually watch abroad. Our site has helped thousands of users watch Sky Go and the UK terrestrial channels abroad so I thought it about time I showed you the easy method of watching Virgin TV Anywhere outside the UK.
How to watch Virgin TV Anywhere in the United States
To access Virgin TV Anywhere outside the UK you need to sign up for a service known as a Virtual Private Network or using the shortened name a VPN. A VPN is a small service that runs on your desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone and encrypts your internet connection to protect you from people snooping on your usage.
A by-product of this is the privacy feature which masks your location. When you’re outside the UK a VPN gives the impression that you’re still in the UK and as such services like Virgin TV Anywhere will stream you the content you want to watch no matter where you are in the world.
VPN services cost around US$5-$10 (approx £4-£7) per month depending on how long you sign up for and will not only protect your internet connection from criminals snooping on it but also enable you to watch Virgin TV Anywhere worldwide.
There are hundreds of providers these days and some are certainly better than others. For streaming video content a quality service needs to be used and to watch Virgin TV Anywhere outside the UK we recommend using FlyVPN's VPN for Windows. Once you’ve signed up download their software or app, connect to a UK server and then access Virgin TV Anywhere as normal.
