Same as the way that you only get either HD or SD in your live channels.

HDR isn't included as far as I'm aware, nor is Atmos.
Thanks a lot for clarifying.

Based on a check of virginmedia.com/shop/bundles just now, It's interesting that this cost appears to have been absorbed in the total bundle cost for new subscribers after the 18 month promotional period (£139 ongoing cost) whereas I'm being asked to pay for Sky UHD and will still pay the same bundle cost (£139) at the end of my current contract without UHD or presumably £145 with UHD. I appreciate I have negotiated discounts etc. and don't pay full whack but if the undiscounted bundle cost without new customer promotions had increased by £6 to £145, I'd have been more receptive to existing customers being excluded as the new customers would've seen the increase eventually. In this case, it's a show of disregard to the existing customer base.

EDIT: Again, the above not aimed at anyone in particular, just a bit of a moan at Virgin Media more generally!
