Good news for Virgin Media customers: Sky Ultra HD content is coming to Virgin TV.

The two broadcasters have announced an extension of their existing content partnership, which sees Sky Cinema and Sky Sports content appear on Virgin TV, and revealed Ultra HD programmes will come to Virgin from 2020.

Until now, Sky's live sport and films have only been available in HD. Now, as Virgin aims to move more customers across to its UHD V6 box, it seems a deal has been struck to boost Virgin's 4K offering.
