How do we determine what's good and what's not ? Everyone has different tastes.
I think that's the thing - different tastes, different outcomes. I think that the new streaming services with their new original dramas have raised expectations. Not long ago, we would have been happy to watch Major Crimes, Criminal Minds and Scandal, but now we demand more. The tired old formulaic stuff is no longer enough.

From a personal view, I'd like to see some UHD content, not sure in what form it could arrive in though (sports, documentary, drama)...I guess all is asking too much lol

Although with the Winter Olympics coming up, is there any word on Eurosport putting out any UHD coverage?

AMC and Sky Atlantic would be great additions, but apart from that, not sure if there is any other channels worth adding for the sake of a price rise.
I think UHD will start to show itself this coming year on VM. Certainly, I would expect to see the World Cup and the winter Olympics coming through, but on the streamed service, not on a broadcast channel.

I should imagine also that the BBC iPlayer will start to add UHD content later in 2018. Any new dramas and documentaries are most likely to appear in the on demand section, but not as new channels. I am hoping that all new Virgin Exclusives will enable UHD viewing as well.

Having said all this, there have been no formal announcements as yet.

Sky Atlantic will be coming to VM in SD only either in 2018 or 2019. AMC might come in 2019 as well if VM can negotiate such a new deal with BT when the existing BT Sport channels come up for renewal.
