As well as kicking off on both ITV and Sky, Champions League action completes a digital TV hat-trick – punters with Virgin Media TiVo can now enjoy the action in smart TV app form.
Virgin Media TV customers with both TiVo and a Sky Sports subscription can access up to eight games at once.
When multiple matches are being played, you can find out when a goal has been scored when you’re watching a different game. You can choose to have a ticker-tape notifier run across the bottom of the screen or press the red button and then be taken to a live stream of another game.
As well as this, stat fans can gorge themselves on tables, fixtures and records as well as read breaking news stories.
The Champions League is available from the Apps & Games section of your TiVo menu now.
