HD and UHD recordings at same time?

JTT47 — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 13:05:39 GMT

Hi, I have 3 pucks attached to HD and UHD TV's

how can I record F1 live sessions to be watchable on both HD and UHD depending what room I'm in?

seems to only have either UHD or HD depending on which channel I'm on when I add to playlist.

That's probably not a use-case which the platform designers ever anticipated, and given there's no actual 'recording' involved I'm not sure that there's any good solution (other than not having HD television sets)

@JTT47 does the UHD recording not play on your HD tv, but in a lower quality? I've got a 1080p monitor I use in my office and that can play a cloud recording from Sky Sports F1 UHD but must be doing some downscaling. It's possible that my setup is doing something odd to make it work but it's worth double checking that for you...

@JTT47

Try creating two playlists and adding the UHD version to one and the HD to the other...

I've got UHD content on my playlist and it plays UHD on the big telly and HD in the bedroom.

I've tried everything above and it doesn't work, how are you getting UHD content to play on an HD TV?

I can't create separate playlists as the content is replicated on both playlists.

If i record the series in UHD, I can't watch on HD TV and if I record in HD, i lose picture quality as the content is HD only.

This is for live sports like footbal and F1, anyone got a working solution?
