hi @shanerg

There are is a UHD version of the channel as well as the HD version.

If you don't have the UHD add on it will prompt you to upgrade if you try to watch - the system should 'smart' switch to move the UHD further down the channel list if you don;t have the UHD add on but sometimes it doesn't work or takes time to sort itself out

Could this be your problem ?

I didnt know about this I'll have to give it a look at.

I was going on

sport menu- F1-live

So was unaware of the uhd and Hd channels

@shanerg goto Home>>>Tv guide >>>sport

And scroll down clicking on every channel that says SkySpF1 until one works for you.

I've had exactly the same issue- Ch406 says I have to upgrade- which I have. I have started watching on Sky Go (I pad) but saw F1 Abu Dhabi live, HD (not UHD) on Ch357???

the Red button seems to cause all sorts of problems.

Also - there is a massive time shift between Sky Tv & Sky Go???
