Sky Q Atlantic

LokeshC — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 21:49:52 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have sky's tv and broadband package, every time I try to access Sky Atlantic it says I need to upgrade I have also tried putting it on SD instead of HD and UHD.

However, I am still not able to put it running. Is there any suggestion on how to go about this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @LokeshC

Go to the Home menu in your Q box.

Scroll down to My Sky

It should show details of your TV package

Sky Signature (contract valid till Nov'23)

and Sky VIP silver

OK @LokeshC

First check that you are not trying to Download or view HD or UHD content without the Q HD or UHD Subscription pack.

Sky Signature includes BoxSets and Entertainment channels only in SD as standard.
Only free to air channels such as BBC, ITV etc are in HD. The Q HD pack is required for all other Sky Signature HD content, including Catch Up in HD, On Demand in HD and BoxSets in HD
If you do not have the Optional HD pack you need to change the Download to SD in All Formats (as HD is the default setting).
So that you do not need to do this every time it’s best to change your Download preference to SD in Home - Settings - Setup - Preferences.
This needs to done on the main Q box.
Then if you want to download any HD content from free to air channels (BBCHD ,ITVHD etc) you can select HD in the All formats tab of the content . This will change the format for that particular download only but still leave your format to SD in preferences.

@oldfella

Similarly, I am also unable to use Sky Cinema. Same prompt coming up - you need to upgrade (even with SD)
