Interesting. Thanks.

Maybe TruTV will eventually become Sony Crime Channel 3 then... :)

Nope :) but you'll like it.

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

It must be UHD of some sort then???

I know you probably can't reveal your sources but I'm just impatient :)

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?

Sounds like that to me.

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.

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
