I hear edited highlights are to be shown on Dave shortly - no HD option I'm afraid.

You'd need a new box anyway. The current boxes can't decode 4K resolution.

(Why is this in the CSTVT thread???)

If 4K is going to have acceptable refresh rates, we'll also need a new generation of boxes with HDMI 2.0 too. So VM I would predict a whole new VIP++ tier where people are willing to pay not only for the content, but a new TiVo model too. This would have to be cloud-based as no hard drive in the world would be big enough. :D

The new Panasonic ultra HD sets have 1 hdmi 2.0 connection, if there was someway of getting native 4k content onto them I'd have had one already, $ly are rumoured to be close to testing broadcast of 4k content but as been said don't be thinking of 4k coming to VM anytime in the next few years given a new box would need to be launched.

Well, one thing we do know, VM won't risk launching the channels just before or during the World Cup just in case anything does go wrong. (World Cup is from Thursday June 12 to Sunday July 13.) If after May then that only leaves one week in June, w/c Monday 2.

Oh well everyone can enjoy a great summer of sport, all in HD for free on ITV and BBC in the interim. The World Cup, Wimbledon and the Commonwealth Games will keep me way too busy to watch the likes of Fish O' Mania and Badminton on SKY Sports 3 & 4 over the next 10 weeks :D

Confirmed: This is not BFBS TV, but the news and current affairs channel that also aims to help families and forces personnel to keep in touch.
