I hear that this channel has today launched as a standalone (i.e. not red button) channel on Sky. You know what's coming... does anyone know when will this channel be on VM V6?

And official channels at that. Anything else is just rumour mill. If the staff here do know, they are not going to break ranks as they are all bound by non-disclosure agreements.

Hey @AdamAnalogue,
Welcome back to the community and thanks for taking the time to post.
I'm sorry but we dont have any launch dates for Sky Sports Main Event Ultra HDR on our platform at the moment, any information about this, when we have it would be shared here https://virg.in/thelatest. ^SL

That is disappointing to hear. I bet Sky won’t Virgin near it though at the minute.

It was a joint announcement between VM and Sky - it's a pity it's no further forward.

£7 a month for Sky Sports UHD (on top of sky sports and HD) or £10 a month including the Ents and Cinema UHD

I think Sky have a nerve charging another £7 on top of still charging for HD which in a lot of cases is not fit for purpose. I believe Sky have made the HD football picture quality worse over the last year or 2 deliberately. If you compare Sky Sports HD with BT HD and even BBC and ITV HD coverage of the FA Cup, Sky picture quality is way behind. This is mostly visible on long camera shots, the closeup shots aren’t too bad.

Presumably Sky Sports UHD will be included within the Ultimate Volt package as we are already paying for UHD.
