Virgin Media is set to introduce a significant enhancement to its TV platform, aimed at simplifying content discovery for users. The company announced the upcoming changes through a blog post, highlighting a more visual search function that will replace the current text-based search results with vibrant images.
The new update, which is automatically rolling out to devices like the 360 and Stream boxes, will transform the search experience by displaying image results. According to Virgin, the update will make it quicker and easier to find desired content, whether users are typing search queries or utilizing the voice search feature.
Users will not need to take any specific actions to receive the update, as Virgin will implement it seamlessly on their end. This enhancement is expected to streamline the search process, reducing the time spent browsing through channels.
Virgin’s search function allows users to search for specific shows, movies, genres, or actors. By pressing the magnifying glass button on the remote or using the voice search feature, users can quickly access relevant options based on their preferences.
To maximize the new search capabilities, users can try various search queries such as looking for shows related to “John Wick,” exploring “feel-good movies,” discovering “reality TV” programs, or finding out about “live sports tonight.”
By incorporating these visual enhancements, Virgin aims to provide a more intuitive and efficient search experience for its TV platform users.
