Even if VM did have a 4k capable box, they still have to have an agreement in place with BT to broadcast the 4k version of the channel.

The new box won't be out for a few months yet. Probably about Christmas/early New Year

It's true but while we will have a 4K capable box unless they do a deal with sky, it won't be a 4K content box

Presumably it will be launched with some 4K content available - Sky is not the only producer of 4K content.

Satellite is an open platform, BT dont have a deal with Sky for their existing channels, they manage them themselves, so they dont need one for a 4k channel either. Anyone with the requisite Sky Q box will get the channels, as long as they pay BT the subscription.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
Sticking my head above the parapet here, but its quite obvious, I would have thought, what VM will do with regards to 4k.

John Malone (ultimate owner of VM) has been doing deals left, right and centre for content, with the possibility of larger deals still to come ie full blown merger between his organisation and the likes of Lionsgate, or AMC, or Scripps, or all of them.

But at the moment he controls Discovery who in turn own Eurosport. He controls All3media (who are the largest production company in this country) who announced a recent deal to produce four brand new dramas.

Would it be too outrageous to expect just for once, that the cableco might just launch its own 4k content/channels/vod rather than just relying on Sky/BT/or someone else?

I would suggest its entirely possible, more so if Malone gets his mitts on Formula 1.

Do you mean about content or the box, will a new Tv anywhere app come for the new software as the current app can't do series links with streaming. From what you hear does the new TiVo sound better than sky q honestly

You are not getting a TiVo Bolt. The Bolt is a US model and wouldn't work in the UK.
