I am expecting more UHD content later this year if all goes well, so keep your fingers crossed. Hopefully, (from my perspective at least) it's not just sport this time around. I have no idea which channels are involved in the current negotiations.

Well, I did say later this year, and now we know the Virgin UHD channel starts tonight. There are a number of programmes I am recording from this channel including StartUp, The Art of More, The Big Dry, Shut Eye, Alaskan Summer and Mysteries of the Mekong. Not bad at all for the first week of a new channel. There are no advertisements either, so overall I would say that this is better than any Sky general entertainment channel, despite its restricted broadcast hours initially.

I am looking forward tremendously to other UHD channels being added soon, including Love Nature 4K and Insight. I would hope that we will see something from Discovery soon as well. Sadly, I don't think we will see any UHD from Sky until 2019.

However, we are now making good progress, and with BT Sport 4K in our line-up, at least those of us with 4K TVs have a better choice of high quality PQ programming.

I trust also that Virgin Movies and the Virgin Media Store will start to offer a choice of UHD films before much longer, although as Den said earlier, these might be a bit pricey. Still, having the option would be nice.
