Struggling to find something to watch? If you watch live and on-demand telly via a set-top box from Virgin Media, you've just unlocked two all-new channels at no extra cost.
Dubbed Wonder and Red Bull TV, these are two FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) channels, which brings a slew of new content to your set-top box at no extra cost. Both of these channels offer 24/7 access to binge-worthy telly favourites.
Neither of these channels are currently accessible on hardware from Sky, including the newly-announced Sky Glass Gen 2, so Virgin Media has managed to get one-up on its longstanding TV rival with these new additions.
You don't have to take any action to start streaming from Wonder or Red Bull TV, with both of these FAST channels added automatically to the Virgin TV 360, Virgin Stream, and Virgin V6 set-top boxes now without the need to press any buttons on your remote control or install any software updates. Handy, eh?
Switch to Virgin Media full-fibre broadband and TV for under £35
Switch to Virgin Media for your television and take delivery of a Virgin TV box with access to Sky Showcase HD, Sky Witness HD, Sky Max HD, Sky Comedy HD, Sky Sci-Fi HD, Sky Arts HD, U&GOLD HD, Comedy Central HD, TLC HD, and MTV HD, to name just a few. You'll also unlock M350 Fibre Broadband with average download speeds of 362Mbps — over 5x faster than the average UK household broadband

Head to Channel 238 to start watching Wonder, which offers shows focused on "groundbreaking engineering, innovative technology, and scientific exploration". Meanwhile, on Channel 556, Red Bull TV showcases the best action from the world of Red Bull, including motorsport, biking, and snowboarding events from around the globe.
You can also check the listings from both channels via the TV Guide on Virgin Media hardware, or quickly navigate to Wonder and Red Bull TV using voice commands — making them quick and easy to locate.
These new channels join the existing list of 32 FAST channels already available across Virgin TV. Thanks to the addition of these FAST channel lineup, viewers can stream popular shows like Tipping Point, Deal or No Deal, Great British Menu, and History Hunters throughout the day via these ad-support channels.
Commenting on the new launch, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2, David Bouchier said: "We’re always looking to offer Virgin TV customers the best entertainment, so we’ve added two more action packed streaming channels for them to tune in to and enjoy.
"With Wonder and Red Bull TV, we’ve got back-to-back inspirational and awe-inspiring stories from around the globe providing customers with even more round-the-clock viewing to enjoy at no extra cost."
