Hi @Totalwar2 

I suspect the UHD download is faulty as I get failed here

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you know if the Freaky HDR has Atmos sound as well.

Given that you can download the UHD/HDR version, why would you download the UHD/SDR version?

Re: Freaky UHD error

Same here - getting 'failed, no subscription' error on the UHD version.    Other UDH films download OK.  
guess I'll be watching this tonight in HD then!

Does your Sky Q box support HDR? The UHD?HDR version works.

Re: Freaky UHD error

Have same problem here. Tried for 2 days to download/watch "Freaky" UHD movie but get a "Failed" due to "No Subscription". I do have subscriptions to movies and UHD and have no problem up to now downloading other UHD movies.

After reading above, I did manage to download the HD version but would prefer to see in UHD.

What is the issue here??

Do you have a Q box that has HDR? If so, you can download the UHD/HDR version. Something is wrong with the UHD/SDR version.

Re: Freaky UHD error

I checked and it seems I have an older UHD TV which only supports UHD 8-bit option in the sky q box, which I guess is what you call SDR. This viewing rejection is new to me, so I guess in future I'll need to keep an eye on the version of the movie and download in HD.

Re: Freaky UHD error

Good point.   Just checked sky's website re UHD HDR which says set the setting to 10bit.  my sky q box is set to UHD 8 bit. (Don't think my 6 year old Panasonic CX802b supports 10bit).   Does HDR only work on 10bit TVs or should it still work with 8bit?  

luckily I'm getting a new LG OLED tv next week so that may improve things!

Once you get your new TV, you'll be able to watch the UHD/HDR version.

@Stu+D afraid HDR only works when the box is set to 10bit so if your TV cannot accomodate this then unfortunately you will not get HDR

Re: Freaky UHD error

Anybody know how to get sky to look at fixing this? I have the pre-HDR box but would still like it in UHD?
