List of channels on Virgin Media (Ireland)
Virgin Media Ireland (owned by Liberty Global Europe) is principally a digital television cable service available through subscription in Ireland, though the delivery technology can vary. It was itself formed by the merger of Chorus Digital and NTL Ireland known as Chorus NTL until rebranded as UPC Ireland.
This is a list of the channels currently available on the Virgin TV 360 service. The list of channels for Horizon boxes can be found here. The availability of channels varies depending on the package chosen.
Note: Virgin Media Television was formerly the TV3 Group, the broadcaster of Virgin Media One, Virgin Media Two, Virgin Media Three, Virgin Media Four & Virgin Media More. It should not be confused with the broadband, phone and TV provider Virgin Media (Ireland).
