Hopefully, however, we will start to see on demand stuff being commissioned before long. I can't see any UHD channels being launched on VM at all this year, I'm afraid, although they must be able to do deals with providers other than Sky and BT. To date, they have not shown any indication of doing so.

This would be good for starters:

The Liberty Global deal with All3Media may produce the first on demand UHD content for us, I suspect, but hopefully, VM/Liberty Global will have their fingers in many other pies:

I thought that VM were changing their strategy and were to start obtaining their own content again. Has this not come to fruition?
