Re: UHD on Virgin Media
I am about to purchase a new telly and will buy a 4K HDR one (still debating which model but that's another discussion).
I know there's no 4K broadcast on Virgin yet BUT does Netflix 4K work through the V6 Netflix app?
I suspect it won't work for me anyway as the amp that I route my V6 through isn't 4K capable (something else to upgrade) and I suspect I can use the Netflix app on the telly itself. But just curious if the V6 has enabled 4K through Netflix.
Apologies if answered elsewhere on the thread...

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.

I accept that you may not think it will happen, but that doesn't make it a fact.

Well most of your facts does not make it a true fact either as l still waiting for 99% of it to happen OB.

Yes V6 supports 4K, delivered by Netflix and YouTube.
Remember you need a Netflix 4K subscription.

It isn't, Dave. The problem is, it's not a fact. It's your view, that is all.
It is a fact, however, that the BBC have been trialling UHD broadcasting through the i-Player. Given that, I am saying that if there is going to be a World Cup feed, the Beeb are equipped to bring this to the UK audience.
I don't really understand why you are having doubts about this. Please explain.

Okay - I wasn't sure how far the business was along with the MP2 -> MP4 migration.

To my mind, constant negative comments about anything that could happen in the future do sound a bit doom laden!
I dare say when Dave's wife tells him that she'll bring a nice treat home with her in the groceries, he swears it will never happen any time soon!

Outside of any iPlayer app on a set top box that wouldn't really be up to VM?

If you like to deal with reality, you might be able to convince me if you gave reasons why you are so dismissive of many of my posts on what may come.
At least I do provide links to back up what I say. You tend to tell me it will never happen, without any supporting argument.
Why exactly do you think the 2018 World Cup will not be shown in 4k in the UK, given the information I have provided? I agree it's not certain that we will get it, but saying there's no prospect of it happening ignores the fact that the beeb have already completed trials on their player.

Dismissive is that what you call it OB as l would call it a opinion from another member who thinks differently from you on a variety of threads and discussions as l thought that is what one did when one is allowed to have a view and a opinion.

Posting links does not make something happen OB as like you , l and others its just another subjective opinion by someone else at the end of the day

But if an opinion is to be taken seriously, should not a reason for the opinion be given?
