@SteveS2

Sorry that you did not realise this..

It is not really a secret and anyone visiting these groups will find we try to point this out regularly.

SKY mini boxes have not changed since their introduction when UHD was really in it's infancy & the hardware just doesn;t support it

If you really want to get SKY in UHD on your new TV you would need consider switching to SKY Stream but it is a different product and relies on good internet connection

As noted, the mini cannot output UHD. (Nor, annoyingly, downscale material to play in HD)

However, depending on the material you want to watch you may be able to use the TV's in-built apps for UHD, e.g. NetFlix.
