I wonder how they will implement the new UHD content.

Do you think there will be a new UHD on demand section for TV shows?
I'm guessing for Sports, it will be available through the red button or something similar.

I can't see Sky launching a UHD sports channel just for Virgin viewers, so I imagine it will all be streamed.

I thought Sky were launching a UHD sports channel next year, so it wouldn't be just for VM.

Even if they aren't, broadcast is much more reliable than streaming for UHD, so I think it would be a hidden broadcast channel accessed by the Red Button.

On Sky it is broadcast over satellite. Only the On Demand UHD content uses your broadband connection.

Sony Max 2 will be launching soon. JJ20X mentioned it on Forumbox and it is showing on DigitalBitRate with "This channel is coming soon" in the EPG data.

No idea what channel number, but it'll be in the 800s. It's in SD and is already available on Sky.

Due to it being own by Sony International Virgin have got Channel 808 FREE. Unless Virgin do an NDTV with it and put on Channel 841.

With NOW Christmas set to close on December 26th on Channel 346 I have seen no word yet on if:

AATW will move NOW 80s back to Channel 346 or keep it on Channel 348.
I have seen rumours on the web that AATW may launch NOW 70s after Christmas.
