Well, look at that, and at no extra cost, too! Well done, Virgin Media! This confirms the information I was given a few months ago that VM were in negotiations with several providers regarding UHD content. This is the start of the implementation programme.

You have heard of price rises by stealth SP?.

Again but it’s all about sport, if you don’t like or watch sport then virgin have nothing UHD to offer, I’m sick of constant UHD aimed at sport

Is there any talks on going with sky for UHD

Come on, Den. This is welcome news. After all the wingeing about the costs of pay tv and lack of UHD, we get an announcement out of the blue that we have a new sports channel in UHD at no extra cost - and still you are not satisfied!

It's very difficult to make you happy, eh, Den! You old Meldrew, you!

I don't watch sport either and so, like you, I'm waiting for the non-sport UHD channels to start appearing. I understand that other UHD channels are being negotiated with VM at present but, apart from Insight, I don't know what the others are.

I would be very surprised if we didn't get Sky UHD channels (albeit at extra cost probably) but I think we will end up having to wait until our existing contract with Sky ends next year.

While this appearing is progress for virgin and glad to see, I’ll only be fully excited when it’s something I want to watch, but over a year for sky content in UHD is unfair when they can ask to renegotiate contracts if they want

Skys deal with BT makes no mention of UHD so I'm not sure of your point there.

BT haven't got any linear channels as part of the deal it gains access to Now TV and will sell access on its BT TV platform.
