Re: UHD on Virgin Media
never really got the whole excitement about UHD. Sometimes i forget i'm watching an SD channel rather than the HD version. HD is a major step up from SD naturally but i just can't see the further improvement of UHD whenever i see it on. "its sharper", "it has more colours..." not really that exciting!

I have a modest 26" screen, and SD looks washed-out and fuzzy. HD is crisp. The only time I have seen UHD was on a neighbours' ginormous screen on which HD looked washed-out and fuzzy, but UHD was crisp. So the bigger the screen, the more UHD becomes relevant.

HD is perfectly adequate for a screen of your size, Vince

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
If the so called 'leaked fixtures' are real,Man Utd v Arsenal would make a good first match on Sky Sports UHD,

Fulham v Arsenal - Sept 12
Liverpool v Leeds - Sept 12
Tottenham v Everton - Sept 12
West Brom v Leicester City - Sept 12
West Ham v Newcastle - Sept 12

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
It's likely that those who were thinking that Sky UHD would be brought in with the football season rather than in August were right.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
What's the chances that Sky Sports on VM will do away with SD at the same time UHD is introduced? Everyone has HD capable boxes, Sky Cinema already went HD-only.
