I don't actually mind how they do it
Your suggestion makes sense though

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
I imagine that because of Covid-19, the Sky UHD/4K channels will now launch in September in line with the launch of the new Premier League season.

I think it is more likely to be introduced when the existing contractual arrangements end, which I think is August.

They out to be able to build a channel with live sport concerts etc then filling in between with docs and films.
Lack of UHD content is stopping me getting a UHD tv.

Do you not have any other 4K devices like game consoles and Amazon Fire Sticks?
I would not wait for 4K content on broadcast TV when you can get far more 4K content by other means, but when you do get one don't get a cheap £400 one as the difference will be night and day.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
Free 4K on YouTube for instance. There is some beautiful nature stuff on there.

Thanks for the advice, I don't use any of the sources you suggest - so 4K content needs to come from normal sources.
Disappointingly, football has been available on sky for some time but as ever Virgin are slow to supply

I presume you mean football in UHD. We do, of course have BT Sport Ultimate which provides football in UHD. The Sky stuff should arrive in time for the next season.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
The BT Premier League games are in 4K on Virgin Media (plus a bit of other sport).
