Virgin Media customers warned to take action as TV and film service closes in 4 weeks
Customers who bought films or box sets must move them to Rakuten TV to keep access, while rentals remain available.
On November 1, the Virgin Media Store will close, requiring customers who purchased films or TV box sets to transfer their content to a Rakuten account to retain access.
Virgin Media urges affected users to complete the transfer "as soon as you can," warning that failure to switch will result in losing all purchased content before the November deadline.
To migrate media, customers must sign in to the Virgin Media Store and select the "transfer to Rakuten" option, which automatically creates a new account if needed.
Virgin Media has reassured customers that rentals will not change, as the closure applies exclusively to previously purchased films and television box sets.
Once the transfer process is finished, users will be able to watch their library using the Rakuten app, which is accessible directly through their existing Virgin Media equipment.
