Sky Q is an older system which was launched prior to UHD existing which is why there are separate addons for both.

The newer Sky streaming platform has HD bundled into the packages as default so the only extra add-on you may need on with that is UHD if you want to watch that content.

You mean UHD? HDU isn't a thing.

Unfortunately, a HD sub is a prerequisite for UHD.

@Fairbs

On Q, Sky longer lists UHD by itself: the add-ons are 'HD' or 'HD & UHD'
