Just to be picky but 720p is HD.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

It won't be until the UHD standalone subscription gets rolled-out to Sky's own customers. I suspect this is so Virgin need to charge extra for Sky Sports UHD like they do for Sky Sports HD.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

HDR has been added now to Amazon Prime on the V6.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

That has happened now.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

How much are they charging for UHD access?

EDIT: Looks like it's £8* for a combined HD/UHD pack. So technically only another £3 a month.

*Looks like that's an introductory offer - it's £9 normally

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

They've had some decent drama and nature programmes on the UHD channel as well.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

With the football returning on Sky, has anyone seen any new of Sky Sports UHD coming to Virgin yet?

Been a long time coming for 2020 :)

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

None.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

I didn't think so.

They are taking their time lol

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Is the UHD sport, that VM is supposed to get, even on Sky's own service though?

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

As far as I am aware, yes.

The UHD sports feed has to be accessed via the red/green button, but they were there last time I heard.
This has been in place for football and F1, it may have branched out to golf, but I'm not 100% sure

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Ah, OK. Ta.

I was under the impression Sky were launching a broadcast UHD sports channel this year on top of the streaming.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Oh, I don't know about a specific UHD channel. I guess that may come in the future.

I wasn't sure if Virgin would use the same approach as Sky using the red button or have a dedicated UHD channel for each.

Guess it makes sense after typing it to adopt the red button approach for now. Otherwise they may need a UHD channel for each sports channel that has UHD available.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

The wording, as I recall, wasn't specific, but gave me impression there would be a broadcast element and maybe they were simply waiting for Sky to launch it. But perfectly easy that I misinterpreted it. :D

I'd think Sky would just launch one movie channel and one sports channel and the rest would be streaming, so maybe Sky Cinema Premiere UHD and Sky Sports Main Event UHD. That has been what I was expecting.
