Same for me, paying a lot of money for this and for some reason on sky stream you can only get 5.1 sound with uhd F1 when they show it on the main sky sports channel, when on the dedicated uhd f1 channel it's only 2.0 stereo.

Weird and not good enough

Yes, same for me as well. Disapponting. As an aside, I've noticed Crofty isn't commentating. I missed the start of the coverage, just wondering if his abscence has been explained.

@Barrowboy63 it has. His new contract allows him to miss a few GP's per year in the same way as Martin Brundles does. Basically, he's having this weekend off. 👌🏻

@Nigelb1972, a weekend off? How very dare he😂. Makes perfect sense, though so thanks for the update. At least he isn't ill, which was my first thought.

@Barrowboy63 Harry seems like a worthy substitute though 👌🏻

This issue is still not resolved, and is incredibly frustrating, especially when another programme is on Main Event UHD (as is the case for the Hungary GP today).

5.1 is available on F1 HD, and is available when F1 is broadcast on Main Event UHD, just not F1 UHD.

I've seen similar threads that suggest the issue was resolved for Sky Q months ago, so it's very disappointing that Sky Stream/Glass customers have been ignored.

@freekyman

I agree, it's completely unacceptable that I have to choose between F1 in HD with DD5.1 OR F1 in UHD/HDR with only DD2.0. It is unexplainable why Sky do this!
