As I said, it is only active on the Manchester Trials network. Scanning in other regions will list the channels because they are in the SDT but there will be no content because the transport streams aren't available.

It is, also keep your eyes peeled as UHD channels are on route apparantly, only one i can think off is BT Sport maybe vm and BT have sealed a deal?

If you don't like sport, we have a shiny new box but no UHD, over at sky loads in UHD, the new blacklist on 4K would be amazing ⚡️

Haha yes, but by the time we get to that resolution, the screen size would have to be massive to notice any difference. People will be moving into warehouses just to have enough room to accommodate the TV.

At least those with VM UK can take comfort that they would be missing out on MTV Classic over the festive season

SD Viewers can watch it on BT Showcase (Channel 548).

The next programme on Channel 100 will be a UEFA Champions League football match between Borussia Monchengladbach and Celtic on 1/11/16 from 19:00 until 22.00.
After that, channel 100 will show a UEFA Europa League group K match between Sparta Prague and Hapoel Be'er Sheeva on 3/11/16 from 20:00 to 22:00.
Does anyone know if these matches will also be in HD?

If the latest content is your priority, Sky has always been the place to be.
Would you launch a non-4k box at this point in time? No provider would be that stupid (well, except for Apple; but they'll just fleece their fanboys for a 4K version down the line )
Just because they don't have 4K content now, doesn't mean that they won't have within the lifetime of the box.

In fairness to VM:
- Neither BT nor TalkTalk has announced any plans for YouView to distribute content to mobile devices.
- VM remains the second strongest TV platform content-wise behind Sky. Neither BT nor TalkTalk has caught up on it content-wise but have had several years in which to do so.

Well, the V+ only had the BBC HD channel for years before any more joined (which wouldn't have cost VM anything in carriage costs).
VM made it clear that they were in no hurry to adopt 4K ages ago
