Sky Sports UHD 2

Hello, I'm not sure if anyone else have noticed this but a new Sky Sport UHD 2 channel appeared on 535. So, now there are 4 Sky Sports UHD Channels. Does anyone know why is this for, is it temporary for a specific event (e.g. last Premier League matches on Sunday) or is it permanent?

I've also noticed Eurosport 4k appeared as well on 523 but this I know is for Roland Garros.

The UHD 2 stream will carry what Skys own customers can access on the Red Button.

This was publicised some time ago, although VM have since added F1 UHD as well.

Sports UHD1 and UHD2 are permanent channels - but only have occasionally programming.

The EPG shows what programmes will be on and there is nothing due on UHD2 from Sky now for the next two weeks.

As I type it is carrying Eurosport 4K - as Sky viewers get that from UHD2.
