How to create profiles on your Virgin TV 360
Setting up a profile on Virgin TV 360 is remarkably easy. There is a physical button on the right-hand side of the remote. You can see what this looks like below:
Here’s the steps you need to take to set up a new profile:
How to find recommendations and channel lists
The TV guide will feature a section called ‘My channels’ which includes your tailored list (if you set this up in the beginning stages). If you prefer you can always toggle back to the standard TV guide by clicking on the tab on the top left-hand side.
If you click on the home button on the remote (shaped like a house), you can find ‘Suggestions for you’, which includes movies and shows that fit in the genres of what you selected during setup. It will then take you to the streaming service/channel that this is on. These suggestions aren’t influenced by what is watched on other profiles.
Finally, if you pause a show on your profile, Virgin TV 360 will save the pause point. Therefore, even if you switch profiles, you’ll still be able to pick up whatever you’ve last watched from the same spot by clicking on the home button and scrolling down to ‘Continue watching’.
