This will change the format for that particular download only but still leave your format to SD in preferences.</P> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 19:17:47 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/tried-to-watch-a-program-called-smother-on-Alibi-through-the-catchup-section-but-it-won-t-play/m-p/4620344#M641454 oldfella 2024-04-16T19:17:47Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/tried-to-watch-a-program-called-smother-on-Alibi-through-the-catchup-section-but-it-won-t-play/m-p/4622093#M641723 <P>Have changed the settings to SD download as standard but still just displays the message about needing to upgrade package!
