No.

Gold is a pay TV channel. Any 'on demand' content is in the relevant services on Virgin, Sky etc

Drama is already part of UKTV Play, where they put their free programming.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I would have thought this programming will be on Britbox, not the i-Player. It will be interesting to see how much longer the UKTV channels survive once Britbox launches.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

They will survive a long time into the future...

Not sure if its a toe in the water if one has no intention of using all the other toes.;)

They’re going to get a great big pile of free trial subscriptions just in time for Christmas shopping. They’re jumping right in, right where they want to be. ;)

Will amazon show the football in UHD?

Interesting development - UEFA launching its own streaming service. A sign of things to come....

https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2019...ital-platform/

EXTRACT

UEFA has unveiled its new Over The Top (OTT) streaming platform UEFA.tv. The German Bundesliga will be the first league to offer content on the service.

EXTRACT

The Bundesliga content on UEFA.tv will be available in major European markets such as the UK, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain and Turkey as well as the Middle East and Africa from the start.

UEFA.tv will not be competing with TV channels but would rather be complementary by taking advantage of the wide range of content available at UEFA, including archive footage, delayed games, magazine programmes or futsal, women’s and grassroots competitions. In addition, it could be used by UEFA’s 55 federations to increase their global reach and visibility.

Amazon has also announced a WTA deal, expanding its sports coverage available on its streaming service.

https://tbivision.com/2019/06/13/ama...with-wta-deal/

Amazon has expanded its live sports portfolio, snapping up the exclusive rights to the Women’s Tennis Association tour in a four-year deal covering the UK and Ireland.

The WTA deal adds to Amazon’s slate of tennis coverage, which also includes the ATP Tour and the US Open, and is the first time both professional tours have been available in one place in the UK.

The WTA deal runs from 2020 to 2024, and includes live and on-demand coverage of top WTA tournaments and will be available to Prime members in the UK and Ireland at no extra cost to their membership.

I seriously doubt it, UHD takes around 5 times the disc space of HD so I would imagine the same would apply to streaming .

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

More of a worry is "are Amazon going to show it in 25Hz" - it really doesn't suit well for live sports.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Completely agree with that.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Other sport streaming services manage it, so I can't really understand why you think that Amazon wouldn't. When you refer to disc space, are you not referring to recordings from TV channels? As we are talking about streaming, disc space is not relevant as it is streamed/VOD.

Incidentally, UHD does not take 5 times the disc space of HD anyway, at least on the V6 box. I have had up to 4 separate series of UHD dramas on my box as well as a few nature programmes, and I have not noticed those shows eating up my disc space.

Like who ?

BT Sport UHD on BT is done via multicast across its own network only.

Edit : BBC iPlayer as well but only in trial and to limited numbers.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

BT is expanding its UHD streaming service (see below).
