F1 UHD 2021

[Mike+Kenworthy]

I've been a Sky customer for some time and with sports and UHD add-ons. I not that Sky showed F1 in UHD for the whole of 2019 season and the 2020 season in all events. 
However, upon watching the F1 testing this morning I wasn't prompted to watch in UHD as previous, more is it an option on selet to watch UHD or on red button (as in the football). 
Can you please confirm Sky will be showing the 2021 season in UHD for which a lot of customers are paying for? 
Thanks in advance!

I can second this question. I couldn't find an UHD link anywhere 😪

I doubt if anyone from SKY will comment on here - we are primarly other customers here.

I couldn't remember if testing was shown in UHD last year but it was in Barcelona not Bahrain

Based on all the last few years have been in UHD (the reason why I upgraded to SKY Q when I did) I would be very suprised if all the races & testing are not in UHD - they managed last year during tight lockdowns.

Maybe it's just me being a bit thick. I couldn't find a UHD link anywhere though.

@Amanda+Robinson Sorry if my reply possibly  confused you but testing today wasn't in UHD and doesn't seem to be for the rest of testing. 

We won't find out for sure about Practice & Races until the week before - although someone from SKy may possibly spot this and able to confirm

Thank you 😊

@nigea99 thank you for the response, I've not used this before so assumed it was to sky team after failing multiple times getting through on social media and the like...

I thought that ref the testing being in UHD, I couldn't remember last year. Like you say, the test will be the Bahrain race weekend end of March. Though I do hope it is because that's the sole reason I pay for UHD.

Will see what comes of it..

Take care

says here UHD only available if you have 2TB BOX

[nigea99]

@Teno1878 I have not read that link but yes the original 1TB boxes could not support UHD.

Both the 1TB & 2TB newer boxes are capable of UHD (& the latest v3 boxes  HDR when available)

[Teno1878]

@nigea99 well I hope so  I will gutted if you need a 2tb box

Hi @Teno1878  If you are referring to the article in one of your posts above, that was from 2018, it doesn't mention 2021 season?

[nigea99]

@Teno1878 the article seems to be dated 2018

I stand corrected
