Video and audio were added for Sky Sports UHD 2 a couple of days ago and were added to Eurosport UHD today. So both, as Martin Österdahl might say, are "good to go".

Well the Tennis will start on Eurosport on Sunday - so both may launch tomorrow.

Neither of these channels are available on Stream boxes. Par for the course with Sky channels - neither the recent UHD channel launches or Sky Kids HD have been added on the platform. I thought Eurosport UHD might have been made available though. Presumably it wasn't last year either.

My guess would be Sky plan to use Ultra HD 2 for a 3rd Premier League game in UHD on Sunday.

Sky sports only have 2 games on Sunday. They're showing the Leicester and Everton games

Yes, there weren't any Stream subscription codes in the info I saw. Sky Sports UHD 2 is for Sky Sports UHD tier subscribers on TV 360 & V6 boxes. Eurosport UHD is included in Maxit or the Sports personal pick for users on newer packs, Mix or Full House for those on legacy deals.

Media Boy UK Sources:

Virgin Media UK are set to move some channels to new EPG numbers in coming months but no list was given.

Maybe BT Sport channels soon to be TNT Sports ?

e.g TNT Sports promoted ahead of Eurosport especially if they agree a new deal with WBD if they haven't already since the SD versions of TCM and Cartoon Network were removed.

I feel it maybe more then one broadcaster as I was told "Big EPG changes coming soon".

Perhaps they finally going to merge Entertainment and Factual & Lifestyle although a lot of that involves Discovery channels aswell since there is gaps to do it.
