I’ll take August in time for the football season.
We know when the contract is due to run out and we know the statement that Sky made about Sky Atlantic when the BT deal was announced. There have been other reports of much improved relationships between VM and Sky. Not only that, but Sky have stated that they now wish to monetise their assets.

From this information, we have concluded that there will be a deal between Sky and Virgin this summer and that Sky Atlantic is likely to be included in that deal. UHD is bound to have been part of these discussions, and of course this will be further monetisation for Sky if agreed.

We do not yet have any further information, but these conclusions are fair ones to make. Given the secrecy that goes on in these contract negotiations, you cannot sensibly expect anyone to be absolutely certain of anything that has not been officially announced. Most of us on this forum accept that, so you really don't have to be so picky.
