Absolutely, as I am sure in some countries (Germany) HD is the norm.
That particular channel is played out from Warsaw so it would make sense.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
It still doesn't mean they are dropping HD standard - just from their name.
Loads of HD channels do not have a licence with HD in the name - like UKTV and Sky channels.
Having HD as a part of the licenced channel name doesn't really mean much unless the HD service is different to the SD service.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
Disney+ and Dazn were added to my model of Panasonic tv this week.
Disney+ is full UHD/HDR - but audio is only 2.0.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)
Is that Eurosport rebranding said to be permanent or temporary?

Here is a bit about what is happening, it is a corporate rebrand rather than a channel rebrand which is possible in the future if they do decide to ditch the Eurosport brand (with the demise/rebrand of Sky One by Sky anything could happen nowadays)
