Eurosport 4K - where?

ozsat — Sun, 28 May 2023 06:30:13 GMT

So Eurosport has it's 4K channel back in the UK for the next couple of weeks.

It is being provided to Sky and VirginMedia in 4K/HDR - but do the new owners think their own customers are not worthy?

Or will I get a surprise later on this morning when it actually appears?

I am at a loss to why BT can't give more Warner Bros Discovery channel's as part of their package, as they have negotiated a merger which should give a bit more flexibility.

Not even available on the BT Sports app or the Discovery+ app.

Well Discovery Plus isn't even on the BT TV Pro yet and there about 10 Warner Bros Discovery channel's that they could add to the entertainment package as well, not just the main one.

I concur, suspect they are waiting to use it as part of the EE TV launch promotion.

@ozsat No 4K pop up for me so far on Eurosport 1 & 2 on Sky Q, so not sure when it is supposed to start?

No waiting - it just takes time. We have 4 different boxes, each with different hardware and different capabilities.
Adding anything to the BT Sport app now is pretty much impossible.

Due to capacity issues it will start on SkyQ tomorrow - lots of football today.

But is now live on VirginMedia.

Could have been added to Discovery+ - which has the TNT Sports coming soon promo in it.

Understand about the app, personally I would focus on adding stuff to the Pro Box, give those with older boxes an incentive to upgrade, but that is just me.

Appreciate the reply either way, at least you do 👍🏻

Could have used BT Sport Ultimate on BTTV from tomorrow as well I guess? There is nothing on after today until Wednesday night, could have rammed it with TNT promos as part of the upcoming change.

Does this mean that Warner beleive BT is NOT a major platform?

4K UHD

All major pay TV platforms are set to offer Eurosport’s coverage in 4K UHD. Eurosport UHD will be offered either as a red button feed or a standalone pop-up channel, depending on platform.

I remember that the absence and availability of Eurosport 4K on BT TV was raised five years ago. It is disappointing for it not to be available.

Whoever has negotiated the BT Sport deal should have negotiated better for more of the Warner Bros Discovery content.

For example on Sky, Discovery Plus is available free for every customer, not just for those with sky sports or BT sport

I seem to remember a while back two channels pop up after a re tune for UHD test, one was showing BT Sport 1 and I think the other was showing the UHD loop. They were there for 2 days but disappeared never to return. 🤔

update it was in December 2021.
