Netflix on Virgin Media TiVo: Breaking Bad and more coming to cable

Netflix will bring Breaking Bad, Arrested Development and House of Cards to Virgin Media homes as it lands on TiVo boxes from this week. 

The on-demand movies and TV service will be initially rolling out to 40,000 selected customers with a Virgin Media TiVo box on a trial basis. An update to TiVo boxes will be rolling out later this week, which will include access to the Netflix app in the Apps & Games section. 

Existing customers will be able to log in to the Netflix app as normal. New customers will be able to sign up through their TiVo box to get the first month for free, paying Netflix £5.99/month thereafter.
