BT Sport Ultra HD will become BT Sport 4K UHD.

Thats worse than SSNHQHD. I do think in TV terms at least Ultra HD is a more recognised term than 4K.


4K is the term used in my field of work, never hear 'Ultra HD'.

In my university though, they're considering if they should wait for 8K. It's gonna get complicated.

Do we know when they are rebranding BT Sport Europe to BT Sport 3?

edit: just read the article that was linked to - 4 August

I don't know for sure when the change from Europe to 3 is going to happen, but I'd take a punt on it being 6am tomorrow.

It may also be worth keeping an eye on Saturday lunchtime's Conference game, as there may be one or two more on-air changes to come.

Changes I've seen so far:
  • the "coming up in August on BT Sport Ultra HD trail has been changed to say "BT Sport 4K UHD"
  • The channel bugs are a bit more subtle - and the 'live' bug no longer has a black background (see ESPN at 6pm or BT Sport 1 at midnight for the next example)
  • BT Sport 3 is much like 1 and 2, but with a blue blob. The biggest change is the format of the L-graphic, which may provide some clues as to the match graphics coming up this season. You may see a wee bit of them on tomorrow evening's Bundesliga 2 game, but the first proper outing will be on Saturday's National League match.

The EPG changes don't seem to have happened for me yet, but maybe we'll see them later. Disappointed that the "L" is staying, but interesting to see BT will have new look graphics for its fourth season in operation.

Main change is the loss of the BT 'globe' logo from the DOG.

On Sky still have the numbered channels out of sequence. So it's 1,3 2, ESPN.

New side bar has way too much scrolling and moving text transitions - and the extreme left hand two characters are missing off, as the side bar hasn't been correctly aligned.

(And , before you tell me - its not my tv overscanning. There is a fine grey line between the sidebar block and the main window, so the sidebar is slightly too much over to the left.)

I'm not seeing that here - on a Sky box, BT box, or the feed before it hits the encoders: it all looks as the screengrab above, where all the text is visible, and there's a clear gutter down the left hand side.

One could make an assumption then a new graphic look altogether for BT Sport with a much squarer flatter look than before?

The guides all list it as being changed for next week's listings so would say you're right or very similarly right amyway
