1) From the reports - it does seem to be a proper channel so I guess you can record
2) The coverage is being simulcast on SD and HD channels

Agreed.
If you are thinking of recording UHD, you'd better make sure you have plenty of space available because you won't have much left when it's finished!

That was the point of doing it - to see exactly how much space it takes.
I also want to see if the down scaled picture is better than HD picture.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
This article says the UHD version will also be on channel 100.
I'm guessing it might be red button as well though, else what would Tivo/V Box customers see?
