You do know that whoever in the UK has the rights has to actually broadcast the UHD feed, right?

That just means matches will be recorded in HDR UHD. What individual platforms do with the stream is up to them. It's perfectly possible that, in the UK, most of it will be transcoded down to 1080i.

VM aren't far off clearing bandwidth. Unfortunately broadband Internet needs most of it. Once the network is SDV / IPTV it's far more doable.

VM are rebuilding some older networks at the moment also. When that's done it should open up some options. For now they would have some areas unable to receive 4k which would probably cause complaints.
