Sky UHD overflow channels

Why are there no overflow Sky sports UHD channels on Sky Q? As I understand it, there is Main Sport UHD and F1 UHD. On cable, there are an additional 2 UHD channels for event clashes. Is there an equivalent here that I'm missing?

hi @Aviate

There is one or maybe 2 UHD channels that get used but are not available as channels - they are accessed via the Red button (possibly no longer this way) or via a tile in the Sports section - The cricket test was on one of these last weekend (there was no red button for this but was available via a Tile from the Cricket section)

There are two UHD overflow channels, they just aren't on the Sky EPG. They are accessed by going onto the HD feed of the event and pressing red or select when prompted.

Thanks both. I'll check this next time.
