From July 30th, UK multiplay operator Virgin Media will be adding the BT Sport 4K UHD channel to its top TV bundles at no extra cost.
The move follows Virgin Media reaching a new multi-year agreement to continue bringing all of the sporting action from BT Sport to Virgin TV. This includes all 351 UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League games alongside 42 live Premier League matches, the FA Cup, European Rugby Champions Cup, Boxing, MotoGP and much more. For the first time on Virgin TV, many of these major sporting events will also be shown in 4K Ultra High Definition.
BT Sport 4K UHD will be included in Virgin TV Full House and VIP bundles, while Virgin TV customers already taking BT Sport will get the channel automatically added at no extra cost. To enjoy this selection of sport, a Virgin TV V6 box and compatible 4K UHD television will be required.
The V6 box can handle both 4K and HDR10 content, which gives it a leg up on some of the competition. Virgin has its own add-free 4K channel, which has a few select shows such as the Rook and nature. One of the best things about Sky or Virgin Media TV is the sheer number of channels you get. Virgin Media's Mixit bundle has 110+ channels, while Maxit has 230+. But there's plenty of scope to boost that by signing up for Personal Picks, which allow you to subscribe to the likes of Sky Sports, BT Sport and international channels on a 30-day rolling-contract basis.
New and existing Virgin TV customers taking Player or Mix bundles will be able to add all BT Sport channels, including 4K UHD, to their package for £18 per month.
- Now Sky Cinema Original films, live Sky sports, Sky original drama and Sky on demand content are all set to be made available in 4K on Virgin. The deal also promises an upgraded viewing experience of Sky's content on the Virgin TV Go app, thanks to higher resolution streams, and Virgin TV customers will also get access to all Sky Box Office events.
- The BT Sport pack features four core channels – BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2, BT Sport 3 and BT Sport ESPN. HD versions of all BT Sport channels will continue to be available alongside access to BT Sport on the move through the Virgin TV Go mobile app. “Virgin TV is all about offering the best sporting action in one place,” commented David.
- Why can't Virgin Media customers access the BT sport app like they can with the Sky Sports app They can access it via the Virgin on the go app instead. The downside being that it’s temperamental.
