It's unrelated. Hence why the 'red button' is still on Really, which is also now under the ownership of Discovery, this is just due to the change with On Demand and Catch Up access following the UKTV dispute.

Other changes, following the sale of Really, Good Food and Home, will be made separately.

BT Sport 4K UHD was a much better name (actually says what it is) than the bland BT Sport Ultimate.

In related news, the mysterious unnamed channel on the Sky Cinema SD multiplex has been renamed Channel Update Slate.

I'd imagine that hidden slate JJ20X posted on Forumbox will appear soon, though the wording on that suggests that will appear after the switch.

We hope Virgin Media UK will axe the Sky Sports HD fee soon. Even if that means Sky Sports SD is also axe we don't care.

VM put out a Press Release this morning about being cheapest for football. Maybe there's a clue in that somewhere? I only had a glance at it as it wasn't of much interest to me.

I think so yes i was fortunate enough to be part of a experiment with VR cinema at a tech event in November in Germany that showed a movie in VR,
if companies get this right i think it will be very succesful, the experience i had with it was incredible.
