Virgin TV Anywhere is offered to all TiVo customers, enabling them to access content on smartphones, tablets and laptops. Virgin also will add Discovery’s TLC channel April 30, it said. TV Anywhere is seen as Virgin’s response to BSkyB’s Go app that has 17 channels. BSkyB’s Go allows offline viewing and, for a monthly fee, users can download and watch programs when they're not online.

The speed caps are in force Monday through Friday between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. and on weekends from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
