For the Olympics:
The Eurosport 4K channel is exclusive to VM media - not even on Sky.
The Eursport pop-up channels are only on VM and EEtv.
There is no UHD/HDR coverage for top tier subscribers to Discovery+.
That's a bit of a mess. WBD obviously wants top tier subscribers but for them to get the best Olympics coverage in the UK, WBD customers also need to subscribe to Virgin Media, a wholesaler allegedly wrangling with WBD over the cost of TNT Sports.
But VM customers can't get WBD's HBO shows unless they also subscribe to Now TV or Sky.
