the bt boxes are freeview,i would imagine 4k will be streamed,i could be interested in this as im already a fibre customer.

Being pedantic their boxes are Youview based (DTT + IPTV) not Freeview.

It will be streamed (via their IP Multicast network/infrastructure)

The £15 per month Ultra 4k package from BT offers a 1TB UHD set top box (G5 model):

BT Sports Pack in SD & HD

BT Sport Ultra Channel(s)

47 Premium channels inc. 13 in HD and 9 kids channels

80 Freeview channels & Catchup TV

Buy or rent shows from BT store

TV everywhere app to watch TV on the go

Voucher for up to £500 off an LG 4k TV

What I'm interested to know is:

1) What are those 47 premium TV channels as they seemed to have gone up from the 22 Premium channels that the £10 per month package.

2) Confirmation that with a conventional full HD tv you can still watch all the channels with the exception of the "ultra 4k" channel(s)

3) Whether the HD sports channels are included in the £15 price or whether I need to pay £4 extra per month for their "HD extra" service.

I called BT today and their customer reps have no clue.
