So in data trails there are several mentions of UV hosts, and it also mentions that they use your meatspace skill instead of the foundation table skills. How would one access any UV hosts?

I assume no differently then any other host, the differences are internal as i understand it. UV hosts use "real skills" because there simulation of reality is so close to perfect it might as well be real. But this is an internal phenomenon.

Yes UV hosts are accessed like other hosts, but honestly...given what they are, the are either SEVERELY anomalous, technically you're in the foundation, or you're dealing with groups WAY over your paygrade.

Do we have any book that talks about how they are accessed? or just the vague mentions in data trails?

Just like any UV host. UVs are hosts, like any other, only with reality cranked up to 11.

what is their device rating? and how do their stats change being a UV host?

They don't. A host is a host. Hosts have a Rating, and their matrix attributes are based off that.

It would likely be the case that a UV host would have a high Rating.

Yeah, UV hosts are the real high end stuff. Like North American HQ of a AAA corp level. UV hosts owned by anyone else (that isn't a national government) are probably places you should run like hell from, because the ones that own them are likely some VERY scary people.
