Well, to be fair, Virgin do bring this to you, via You Tube. No need for a separate channel, even if BT let us have it.

Give it a watch and if it's anything like the Europa Cup Final feed you'll be unimpressed.

It is only going to be on Youtube as BT have decided to show it via that platform as well as the BT website

It's all they need to do, really. A neat solution.

You need to be patient. There are technical issues with UHD which need to be put right. You will have read on these forums that the quality of some of these broadcasts leaves much to be desired.

It is very likely that up to three UHD channels are testing already on Virgin Media and they are likely to launch this year. However, don't get yourself too excited, there's not a lot of content to be had yet. So I don't know whether the programming on these channels will appeal or not.

The technical issues must be to do with the 'UHD ready' V6 as sky have been showing live premier football for most of last season.

About time Virgin sorted out access to these games in UHD.

Thanks for the link, OB.

Even though I don't follow tennis, it's good news and possibly means that UHD content will start to appear more frequently.

I'll probably have a look to see what the V6 can do when put to the test :D
