I have a suspician - no more than that - we could see UHD on demand programming coming to our V6 boxes this spring/summer (in what quantity I do not know) and the addition of more apps, including Amazon.

I also think that Sky Atlantic will be on all boxes in 2019, but spitefully, in SD only.

I would not rule out seeing AMC as part of a new wholesale deal with BT in 2019. Hopefully, we can get the HD version of that.
We think if AMC doesn't go onto more platforms then it might be a gonner in 2018,
regarding SKY Atlantic in HD that'll be down to BT and VM the option is there.
What i think we will see is a growth in online services and apps, also we have heard rumblings of vm testing 1gb broadband speeds too.
