Virgin launching "new entertainment service"

Virgin Media is getting ready to launch a new entertainment service. According to the Virgin announcement the new service will eventually bring a variety of top streaming services together into one place. There's a trial underway but it's only open to Broadband-only customers. Not many more details here

It sounds like they're looking to launch a device similar to Sky's Now USB sticks. As always, late to the party, but the rumour is that the new service will include Disney+ and Britbox as well as Netflix et al. Not sure exactly who this will be aimed at but I'll keep an eye out for further news.

Elsewhere, Sky Q may gain Apple's TV+ service at some point. Speculation here
