Interesting. Thanks.
Maybe TruTV will eventually become Sony Crime Channel 3 then...

I would be surprised if the Winter Olympics was not available in UHD on the BBC i-Player.
However, the big question will be whether V6 viewers will have access, given that the recent i-Player UHD trial did not include V6 boxes.

I'd be more surprised if it was available in UHD on IPlayer

Why's that, muppetman? They've been doing trials, so it's only a matter of time, and the BBC pledged to give us UHD by now.

Trials of UHD On Demand content is a lot different to Live UHD streaming.

Near the end of the page it states:
'Interested in our Virgin TV V6 box? If you haven’t got one yet, something exciting is just around the corner. Sit tight – we’ll be getting in touch with our TV bundle customers from February.'
Any ideas?

Maybe they are going to swap out all the old Tivos for nothing?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
With Sky's full IPTV service launching at some point this year, I wonder if VM are trying to tempt those of us interested in leaving VM for this service with this offer.
Free V6 is v-e-r-y tempting, if true.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
It's obviously something for those without a V6 as opposed to an enhancement to the V6.
Could be a free swap as some have suggested.

Yes, that was my first impression too. Free V6 will certainly tempt quite a few customers and of course a new 12 month contract
