From the 20th of July 2020, H&C will no longer be available on Virgin Media. The good news is that H&C is now bigger and better than ever, at your fingertips on all your devices.
\nHere\u2019s what you need to know in order to keep getting your H&C fix…<\/p>\n

How can I get H&C after the 20th of July?<\/h2>\n

After the end of July 2020, you can still watch H&C in a number of different ways. We have a completely free streaming channel available right here on our website, and also on our iOS and Android apps, on Roku, on Apple TV, and on Amazon Fire TV.<\/p>\n

You can watch our free streaming channel right away without the need for any subscription, but it gets even better for subscribers to H&C+. Join H&C+ via any of these devices (web, mobile, Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire), and you can enjoy our premium channel, plus more live streaming and exclusive programming such as masterclasses with top riders available any time on demand. You can also view our premium channel if you\u2019re a subscriber to H&C on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n

Why is this happening?<\/h2>\n

More and more people are watching TV via the internet and streaming services like Netflix. These services offer the ability to watch content on the go, on your hand-held devices, and also to offer lots more than a traditional TV channel, including hundreds of hours of on demand content and box sets, and lots of live sport \u2013 even several different events at once.In order to offer these great new services, H&C has decided to stop broadcasting a single, scheduled channel via Virgin Media. Fortunately, there are lots of different ways you can now watch the channel. H&C is now in HD on all its platforms, including our free streamed channel and our subscription service, H&C+, which offers equestrian fans more than 1,400 hours of shows on demand as well as regular live events and sports archive.<\/p>\n

I subscribed to Virgin Media to watch H&C. What do I do now?<\/h2>\n

We know many of our viewers have found H&C one of the best things about their Virgin Media subscription. Unfortunately, we\u2019re not part of the relationship between Virgin Media and their subscribers. If you want to cancel your Virgin Media subscription, we recommend you contact Virgin Media directly.<\/p>\n

H&C was free on Virgin Media \u2013 now I have to pay?<\/h2>\n

Actually, you don\u2019t have to pay. As well as our terrific subscription service, H&C+, we have launched a completely free version of the channel everyone knows and loves. So, whether they have Virgin Media or not, more people in the UK and the Republic of Ireland can now watch H&C than ever before (which we think is a good thing). You can watch the free channel in a number of ways:<\/p>\n
