Are mini boxes HDR ready

Are the mini boxes HDR ready as it what I have in my den where I spend most of my time.

If they're not compatible does Sky have any plans to upgrade mini boxes to give paying customers the best experience possible?

hi @Darshan

No, SKY Mini boxes do not support any form of UHD & won't ever do

The alternative SKY Stream boxes are UHD/HDR capable but you can'r have SKY Stream and SKY Q (one or the other)

It's a shame the minis don't do 1080p HDR but ... they never will.

That's very unlikely given that satellite television itself, at least in the UK, may well not continue beyond the end of this decade. Q is now eight years old: if UHD/HDR Mini boxes (and the necessary new model main Q box) were going to be a thing, they would presumably have emerged long before now.
