LONDON -- Virgin Media today announced the launch of its first online movies service: Virgin Media Online Movies. With hundreds of titles to watch on demand, including Fantastic Mr Fox, District 9 and, from 6th May, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Virgin Media Online Movies will be the perfect online hub for all film lovers.
Film fans will be able to stream their choice of film, ready to watch when they want, directly to laptops, PCs and onto TVs. All rentals will offer unlimited views for 48 hours so viewers can pause, rewind and watch again. Plus the film can be watched wherever the account holder logs on – at work, or at home.
Alex Green, executive director, commercial, TV and online, Virgin Media said: “Virgin Media already offers the UK’s leading movies on demand TV service and we wanted to bring the same high-quality, easy-to-use experience to film fans online. Virgin Media Online Movies will help visitors discover and enjoy a whole world of film and we’ll continue to develop the service by adding download functionality, even more titles and a great choice of HD films to the line-up.”
