Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

Wrong. Wightcable (now WightFibre) is still in operation on the IOW, & is the only cable franchise not run by Virgin.

Wightcable North was sold off & became Smallworld, which was the bought by Virgin Media.

They "cable TV" is just using Youview.

Might there be one in the future though?

Who knows what the future holds however UHD costs are significant I wouldn't expect one anytime soon when the movies can be delivered On Demand.

Sky Sports UHD isn't a channel either that's accessed via Sports > UHD or via the red button on the standard HD channel.

It currently only airs Premier League matches although F1 will come next year.

No. F1 will be owned by Liberty Media, which is a separate company.

And the F1 rights agreements for a good number of years are already signed.

Muppetman has been talking about F1 coming to Sky Sports UHD.
F1 rights are with Sky and Channel 4 until 2018 then with just Sky until 2024.

BoxNation have had a PPV channel on Sky for 2-3 years now. All events on their HD channel are available PPV.

BoxNation subscribers get the PPV events at no extra cost.
