The UEFAU21 coverage has the appearance of a more conventional studio, whether temporary I'm not sure, convinced they're using 4K cameras in it though. HD pics from it have been superb.

I don't know whether this has been mentioned, BT Sport are refurnishing their studio (in HereEast) ready for the launch of their new Europe football programmes /channel.

Kind of off-topic but HereEast is an even worse name than iCity.

Virgin Media has confirmed that it will be adding the new BT Sport Europe channel to its line-up from its 1 August launch date to ensure that it is the only TV provider that will offer every sports channel available before the start of the football season.

BT Showcase is now 24/7 on Freeview and is running detailed trailers, if the companion BT Sport App redesign for UEFA matches, when it finally is released to the masses, matches that displayed on the trailers, it will make a huge difference to the way people watch. Seems multi-camera will be available on some games too. I await the 'red button' trailers with interest.

Technically I think Timeline.tv are refurbishing the facilities that they supply to BT Sport?

Now on-air 1200-0000.

No point I suppose in paying for expensive Freeview carriage for hours when there will be no CL/EL coverage.

That's Studio 3, which has only recently been completed. Not sure about the cameras - last I heard the 4K ones hadn't arrived yet.

Correct - all the broadcasty engineery stuff in the studios is installed and managed by Timeline, who are also providing the UHD scanner: http://www.timeline.tv/2015/06/25/timeline-launches-europes-first-purpose-built-uhd-4k-outside-broadcast/

Yes - I have two
1) Are you planning on trying to get all your channels in a row on the various EPG's - or will this useful idea for sports channel surfers be restricted for BT TV viewers only? Playing hunt BT Sport ESPN on DSat after At The Races, Extreme and Chelsea TV SD and HD isn't funny anymore.
2) Talking of BT Sport ESPN - Can you tell someone to redesign the DOG, and shrink the size by at least a quarter?

I have an UHD tv, not sure if its going to be any use by the time 4k broadcasts start.

Are BT going to stream this 4k content?

Nothing on Sky yet doing any 4k stuff.
