That's probably because most of On Demand is still currently on the system that doesn't support UHD nor has the capacity for it.

Virgin have started to move content over to the new system, and that started with Sky Cinema On Demand (which is why all the HD for Sky Cinema came back)

Maybe the Virgin Exclusives will become Virgin UHD Exclusives on demand?
Perhaps in the future but certainly not currently for the reasons that have just been explained by Ben..

Yes, understood, but Virgin's UHD channel is also available to viewers who can get only HD. So is there a technical reason why the downscaled version of Virgin's UHD channel cannot be shown on demand?

...because it’s broadcast in UHD and downscaled in the V6 for customers who don’t have a 4K TV?

Yes, that's what I mean. If some viewers are watching the channel in HD rather than UHD, is it not possible to provide channell 999's content in HD on demand until the system is upgraded?

OB it's the V6 that is downscaling it, it's not a separate stream, it is coming into every Full House home as UHD, the V6 then goes "I'm not connected to a 4K TV, I'll only show a quarter of the pixels." The OD infrastructure at the back end isn't configured in its entirety to work with UHD yet, neither is there enough of it to fit it in, but it is being worked on, hence the Sky Cinema OD comment.

At least that is how I understand it.

The Smithsonian Channel has been launched on channel 295. You need to access it by entering the channel numbers at the moment as it is not yet listed on the EPG.

Just checked, and it's on the EPG here on a V6.
