New TV series and films made available by Sky in Ultra HD will also be made available to watch.
All Sky Entertainment and Sky Cinema Ultra HD content will be available via a dedicated section in Box Sets and Movies so customers have the flexibility to watch at a time that suits them.

No news on the promised UHD Sky Sports yet :(

I am also on an Ultimate Oomph contract with both Sky Movies & Sports as above, I am being asked to subscribe to access UHD movies. So what is the issue here??
I’ve got the same problem, on the Ultimate Oomph bundle, I believe it’s to do with the fact we get sky cinema in HD for free, it will not show on your bill, sky sports HD does show as add on/personal pick. Looks like the system is confused and wants to charge us the extra £6 even though we should get it for free.
In fact we been shafted.... EXISTING CUSTOMERS!!!
Sky UHD: Sky Cinema and Sky Entertainment UHD: £6 a month for existing customers of Maxit/Fullhouse/Bigger Bundle/Ultimate Oomph packages. 30 days’ notice required to remove Sky Cinema and Sky Entertainment UHD pick. Prices may increase at any time during the contract.
Sky charges it’s own customers more for UHD - they wouldn’t license that content to Virgin for less
Don't we pay £7 for HD and now £6 for UHD thats £13 cheaper to go to sky and save a quid
Come on David, I’m I loyal virgin customer that am not leaving but concentrate on updating the services that u already supply on the V6 All4, My5, UKTV play and most of all bring back series link + where it will bring all content together and future too. I hope u take our thoughts as we are seeing it as a downgrade rather than an upgrade.
Well I can get it uhd on ultimate ooomph not paid any extra but have the new box
And now only 223 movies available in uhd there's a lot of movies that are not being added to the uhd section
