Already posted this in the Coming Soon thread, but it's just as appropriate here in the 4K thread.

Overnight Eurosport Hidden has appeared on Tsid 9 /C032 on DigitialBitRate, so it looks like Eurosport are doing 4K stream again this year. It's the qualification rounds this week so it will surely launch once those are over.

I just looked at the screen grab and it's a slate confirming Eurosport 4K coverage of the tournament.

The slate screen for the hidden BT 4K channel is now showing in the screengrab on DigitalBitRate. It confirms that

Both all-English finals, broadcast on BT Sport, will be available to watch in 4K UHD to all Virgin Media customers with a V6 and compatible 4K compatible TV, here on Channel 532.
532 isn't showing on the EPG yet. Non-4K customers will just have to may do with HD on Channel 100.

The V6 will downscale 4k channels to HD if needed.

I probably should have written "non-V6 customers". :D

We will have to wait at least 2 years for ITV UHD, it seems. Rather unsatisfactory considering ITV is the second UK television station.

UK commercial broadcaster ITV has said that UHD is high on their agenda. Tom Griffiths, ITV’s Director of Broadcast & Distribution Technology, explained to delegates at the SES UHD Conference in London that setting aside ‘regionality’ which was another quite separate challenge, was very expensive and might require a different approach to that currently in use. But for UHD it was “definitely in the planning stage” and would probably be available “in the next couple of years”.

How long have we waited for DD5.1 on ITV HD?
