I guess from a UHD, HDR perspective, live sport is the hardest thing to get right. Maybe they want to make sure they can do the more technologically challenging things right first

With things like Movies, TV shows & documentaries they should be easier as everything has already been filmed, edited and ready to broadcast.
Exactly and there needs to be something after World Cup finishes not keeping us to wait till sep 2019

Wonder if the BBC will broadcast FA Cup games in 4k?

How about MOTD?

Totally agree mate, but I don't think we'll have access to UHD Sky Movies or UHD box sets until a new deal is signed with Sky :td:

Perhaps we will start to see some films in UHD appearing on Virgin Movies?

And they will be pretty pricey methinks.

I know. I can't wait to get some subscription based dramas and films in UHD. The BBC will make a real difference if it starts to schedule or create on demand material on a regular basis as there will be no extra charges for that. I expect ITV will lag behind, but Channel 4 might rise to the occasion after the BBC get going amongst the terrestrials.

How much server space and at at what cost would the Beeb need to switch over to on demand UHD @ 40Mbps?

I assume it could be done lower, but would they?

I must admit I tried the Tennis in uhd yesterday and thought how nice the picture was compared to the football in uhd does any one else think so?

Box just showed tennis UHD without HLG. Bug? Wondered why it was so bright.

TV app worked fine and HLG brightness was bang on and much better.

You don't know that. It is only your assumption.

I am expecting more UHD content later this year if all goes well, so keep your fingers crossed. Hopefully, (from my perspective at least) it's not just sport this time around. I have no idea which channels are involved in the current negotiations.

Well where is it then - no sign of it.

Must admit the Cricket currently on Sky Sports is looking good in UHD.

You are so impatient! Have you ever had any responsibility for implementing new technology? We need to be grown up about this.

Is that via the red button on the V6?

A little more information here on Insight, which should launch soon in UHD on Virgin Media. No dates yet, I'm afraid. The new channel will be available through the on demand system. Hopefully, Virgin will provide this content free with specified packs, but maybe that is expecting too much!
