Ultra HD free in December?

I read on Cordbutsers and RX that the Ultra HD channel is meant to be free during December, however this doesn't seem to be the case (on my 360 box anyway!). Have I missed something?

    Have a look at channels 175 and 999 which will showcase family films every afternoon, as well as a variety of documentaries from 8pm and prime time films from 9pm daily.

      I can get the channel but it's not showing for free, it's asking for subscription.

        Usually these offers are on the Home page and I don't remember having seen it. You could try rebooting the box but it's more than likely the offer hasn't been activated (correctly) yet. I think this has happened before.

        Can you watch other 4K channels on the 360. You do need a 4K TV and cable's that are HDCP 2.2 compatible for when the free channels become available.

      It's not easy to find out what's going to be on! It's missed off all the online channel guides, and even the guide within the Virgin TV Go app omits it.

        I think the TVGO app guide misses it out is because you can't watch it on the app. Although it does show the Sky Sports UHD channels even though you can only watch on your TV not through the app.
