Well good luck to you if you intend to record in UHD! You would probably need a 5TB box for that!

Why I have a 2TB box and regularly record/download in UHD.

I can see why he and others don't post here anymore, bit of egg on your faces now isn't it?

Part of this problem was caused by VM themselves as they first announced the UEFA Final would be in UHD on TV Edit, then withdrew the statement from the page a couple of days later.

Live sport is the future of UHD - it will drive acceptance or otherwise.

I understand you don't like sport, but a lot of people do so to say "people want movies and entertainment" is your opinion not fact.

In reality people, especially those who have or are about to invest in a UHD TV want more UHD channels and content of all varieties (not the odd thing hidden on the red button)

The point of that Exclusive was to

A) Confirm the launch date of Eurosport UHD
B) At time of posting on May 16th we did not know at a516Digital has an story up about BT Sport UHD.
C) If you look up all my posts I did not called Theone an liar.

I don't think the comment was necessarily aimed at you, MB. The point is that theone gave some useful information on some intelligence he received and he was rubbished by some members of this forum, which seems to be the kneejerk reaction we get from flagging up what may happen in the future. Strange, given the nature and intent of this thread and the fact that if we relied on official announcements, there would be virtually no news to report most of the time.

As a result, we lost a good contributor to this forum, because he was pretty upset by the remarks made. But he was quite right - events have now proved it. Cable Forum's loss.

For starters There needs to be a dedicated UHD channel, where any UHD programmes of any genre are available to record if the customer wants to.

As more UHD programmes become available then more UHD channels should follow.

If sky can do regular football in UHD then Virgin should get it, or people will vote with there feet

Sky shows Football and F1 in UHD but viewers with Sky Q have to press Red to view it.

Sky UK or Ireland do not have an UHD broadcasting channel.

The content is still recordable so I'm not sure on your point.
