That's absolute nonsense to make comments like " will never happen", or " more chance of it snowing in hell forever " it's already been pointed out to you by both OB, and SP, that deals were done with Sky to get HD channels, and Sky VOD and Sky Sports Red Button, so you can never say that another deal wont happen. |
Re: UHD on Virgin Media
I'm just guessing, but new content coming from USA is starting to be available in UHD (the derisible, Inhumans series, for example) on-demand on Sky Q boxes.
Eventually there's going to be a "live" option in red button or a new channel to watch this content. Whether this just shares bandwidth with the Sports content (on non-sports nights) who knows. Eventually Sky will hit a critical mass of Sky Q 2Tb customers with the £12 Sky Q Multiscreen subscriptions to make a full time UHD channel viable. Given the current growth figures for Sky Q then that shouldn't be very far away, hopefully. Given that less than half of Sky customers take Sky Sports now, it's more likely to be a channel showing US imports and Sky Original productions, i.e. a Sky Atlantic UHD channel. Just guessing... |

So the 2018 World Cup will be shown in UHD. Now we know that UHD will come to Virgin in 2018!

That just means matches will be recorded in HDR UHD. What individual platforms do with the stream is up to them. It's perfectly possible that, in the UK, most of it will be transcoded down to 1080i. VM aren't far off clearing bandwidth. Unfortunately broadband Internet needs most of it. Once the network is SDV / IPTV it's far more doable. VM are rebuilding some older networks at the moment also. When that's done it should open up some options. For now they would have some areas unable to receive 4k which would probably cause complaints. |
