It's not a fact, Dave, it's just what you think. As spanky says, they have trialled it on the i-player already, and it looked great by the way, so if the feed is provided to them on a plate, there's no reason why they can't put a bit of effort into this.

The same bandwidth is reserved for broadcast TV across the entire network.

The voice of doom speaks again.
As already mentioned, the BBC only have to put the live feed onto the BBC i-Player. They trialled a UHD sequence on there a few months ago. As you say, there is no BBC UHD channel as yet and there probably won't be for some time.
I don't honestly know whether ITV is likely to be able to provide UHD in time for the match. I would be inclined to say that they won't be able to achieve this but I have no specific information to back that up.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
This casts a little extra light on whether the UK will benefit from seeing the World Cup in UHD.
The article lends support to the likelihood of the BBC taking advantage of this opportunity, and the probability that ITV will pass on this one.

How can it be a fact when I have already reminded you that the BBC can stream the World Cup on the i-Player? They have already tested UHD by this method.
I accept that you may not think it will happen, but that doesn't make it a fact.
Dave, in your world, nothing is ever going to change, you will never get old and you will live forever. Well, good luck with that...

Exactly. That's my point. Areas on 750M networks that are full won't have space for the extra multiplexes.

But would that problem impact on the ability of VM to allow UHD on apps like the BBC i-Player? It doesn't appear to be a problem on Netflix or You Tube.

This is the way of the future, Dave and you may as well get used to it. Incidentally, the i-Player is a 'channel', but not a conventional broadcast channel.

No extra multiplexes are required. The existing ones have sufficient capacity.
