TV customers can expect the freshly added channels to the guides in a major shake-up.
They will be FAST channels, Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television, which means they will be available through broadband connection.
This means customers will need to have a Virgin TV 360 box, Virgin Stream or a Virgin V6 box with Wi-Fi or ethernet.
The new channels are British Screen Classics on 450 and wedotv movies on 451.
British Screen Classics offers a 24/7 stream of hits from ITV Studios and Studio Canal.
It features adored titles from every genre, including comedy, horror, war, adventure, drama, and romance.
Meanwhile wedotv boasts over 500 films which are rolled out across Romance Mondays and Sci-fi Wednesdays.
