Re: UHD on Virgin Media
Recorded and watched Hurricane on Virgin UHD channel.
Some great filming and nice Dolby 5.1 track.
Is Dolby 5.1 sound on Virgin UHD of a higher bitrate than the HD channels too?
No stuttering for me.

The Sky Cinema and Sky Originals have been flagged on search for 3 or 4 months now but there is no UHD available as of yet.
Same goes for
Back to the Future 1,2,3
Joker
Bad Boys 1&2
Cobra
Avenue 5
Sick of It
Sick Note
and many more

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
THe UHD flag has been showing on some films for a couple of months now - but you can't select a UHD version.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
Hi first post here,
Did anyone else notice Gangs of Lemur Island was on the Virgin Ultra HD channel yesterday and all 5 episodes will be in UHD this week? It even says aired 27/05/2020 which is the same day Sky Nature launched so maybe we are finally starting to see some movement in the Sky UHD content?

Welcome to the forum
Love Nature content has always been available on the UHD Channel and continued even after the channel itself closed
Gangs of Lemur Island like a lot of the Sky Nature content is from Love Nature which has an agreement with Virgin for limited content.

Look on the bright side at least VM customers get BT Sports UHD at no additional cost - not even available through sky platform

Not always. Frame rates for UHD can vary just like they do for HD.
