There is always something at 7pm for a few of hours - but usually a repeat. Some days have 2-3 programmes during the day - but the promo usually.
They have live Scottish League Cup football this Friday evening.
Coming up is occasional live Speedway - but too late for the Grand Prix in Wales.
30th July is the middle of their live daily coverage of multiple matches from the Women's Hockey World Cup.
No schedules available beyond then yet.

Fantastic news, I'm glad Virgin are starting to take 4k seriously and it's a linear channel so I'm very happy :-)

In contrast to today's 4 hour evening only line-up - on Friday they have 13 hours of non-promo programming in 4K including the live football.

I think, muppetman, that it is time to realise that VM is getting ready for the UHD splurge when it comes.

I am a little disappointed that you seem not to acknowledge this development.

I am sure that there would be plenty of people on this forum who would criticise Virgin if they were not ready to screen UHD material when it arrives.

I definitely think that Virgin deserves credit for this new contract with BT. Detractors need to explain themselves.

What are you going on about , I haven't criticised Virgin over this deal I was merely asking Ozsat the makeup of the channel.

The fact is most sport currently isn't shown on BT Sport or Sky Sport in UHD , I agree in time this will change but at the moment it's very expensive hence why both mainly just show their Premium rights in the format.

At the end of the day any UHD is welcome in my eyes at this stage.

Sorry if I misinterpreted your position on this as distinctly underwhelmed! As far as Sky is concerned, well, I am sure you understand how most of us feel about that!

It’s true virgin should be going to sky to renogiate the contract changes due to UHD being massive addition to sky cinema and sports

It’s would be but life doesn’t revolve with sport so far what has come has pleased sports fans but if you don’t like sports and enjoy 4K movies from
Sky cinema or 4K shows like the blacklist and more it’s a damp squib

Small steps!

Next target would be Sky's UHD services!

I agree. Hopefully the UHD movies and shows from Sky will come soon, but getting the technologically challenging live sport in UHD sorted first probably seems sensible.

I expect VM to pull something out of the bag and secure a deal with Sky for UHD content. Then the Full House/XL package will then look really tasty
