Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Presumably it needs to test first, it won't just suddenly materialise though.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Now we know 4k sky Cinema is coming to VM later this year (presuming they will roll out the new TIVO first?)

Presuming that 4K Sky Sports ISN'T coming?!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well you are in the know so perhaps you can tell us Andrew?.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It is a superb show a bit confusing at first but stick with it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I don't expect it to just appear...I meant after negotiations and testing....when/if it finally launches, it will be a great addition...but you knew what I mean haha :angel::D

Is there an actual 4K Cinema channel launching or is it just on-demand titles that you have to pay for that are in 4K(UHD)?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
