Virgin Media TV viewers can unlock three months of the award-winning MUBI streaming service for just £1.
For those who don't know, MUBI is packed with several high-profile titles, including the five-time Oscar-nominated horror film The Substance starring Demi Moore, BAFTA- and Golden Globe-nominated Portrait Of A Lady On Fire, and Drive My Car — the first Japanese film to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards in December 2021, to name just a few.
MUBI is a curated film streaming service to rival Netflix and Prime Video. It has funded several original films, like the Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning The Substance starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley

The curated catalogue also boasts classics like The Godfather, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, Spirited Away, Psycho, Mulholland Drive, and more.
If you want to secure the discount — you'll need to be quick.
The £1 subscription deal is only available until February 9. After that, streaming any of these critically-lauded movies via MUBI will cost the standard £11.99 monthly fee. Ouch.

If you already have a Virgin Media TV 360 set-top box, Virgin Stream, or Virgin TV V6 box at home, unlocking the limited-time offer is simple. Launch the MUBI app on your Virgin Media-branded hardware, and you should spot a QR code on-screen.
Point your smartphone camera at the QR code and follow the on-screen instructions to sign up for the £1 plan. Once signed up, you can immediately begin streaming MUBI's curated selection of films.

If you don't cancel during the trial period, MUBI will automatically continue your subscription after the third month at the standard £11.99 monthly fee.
Crucially, the three-month MUBI trial is not limited to those with Virgin Media. If you have another device with access to the curated film service, you can still sign-up for the £1 offer.
MUBI supports a wide range of devices, including Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony), streaming media players (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV), and mobile devices (iOS and Android). It allows users to stream on up to five devices simultaneously, with two streams active at the same time.
Unfortunately for those with a Sky Glass, Sky Stream, or Sky Q box ...MUBI doesn't currently offer an app on the platform. Instead, you'll need to use AirPlay to wirelessly beam the films from your iPhone or iPad, or rely on the app included on your television to unlock the MUBI catalogue.
Fingers crossed MUBI support is something coming as part of the mysterious new product launch from Sky TV this month.
Virgin Media offers access to several popular on-demand streaming services, including BBC iPlayer, MUBI, Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, and others from the homescreen
