I didn't know that. I think that it will probably end up on VM though, as the BBC have never withheld channels from them in the past.

It will also be a free channel to add that will utilise the new 4K TiVo box

Re: BBC 4K channel to start next year.

Before talking of 4K there needs to be an appropriate mix of compression and bandwidth. There is a marked difference on my set up between Terrestrial HD and TiVO HD especially on sports programming where TiVOcan be decidedly blocky.

Streaming 4k directly to the TV gives by far the best results for me.
