Not sure there is appetite yet for 4k just yet, would take a whole new round of investment by consumers in hardware who have only just got round to HD, the price of TV with 4k needs to come down abut more; it is slowly going that way I agree but not just yet.

I would imagine it would also need some serious hardware investment by broadcasters
Yes that's how I read it , free option for BT BB users with an additional fee for CL games.

If the VM deal for BT Sport currently inclusive in XL TV also included the Champions League coverage from next season this would be a real selling point for VM.

I realise the article doesn't mention this and I'd imagine this will be another late decision like last time , BT will surely try and attract as many sub's to its own BB and TV products before agreeing wholesale agreements.

BT have already said they'll have BT Sport 4K content surely this will force Sky's arm.
