HDR10 and Dolby Vision being the other standards, so it can't be that difficult for VM to have all three built into their new V6 right from the start.
As for SkyQ, I don't know if their boxes can be software upgraded for all three standards. Sky are very quiet on the issue, but as they're going to launch 4k footie, they must be using at least one HDR standard and as HLG is able to be used for all current 4k tvs, I think you have your answer...

They have already launched UHD football and pretty good it is.
