How do we know if we actually receive 4k resolution??

The picture we receive from sky glass/stream or sky q, how do we actually know that it's actually 4k resolution/upscaled when we go onto the 4k channel. There's no way of checking the broadcast information relating to the channel.

 

Sky 65inch sky glass in gloss black and complete sky package+ whole home, 49inch 4k HDR LG smart TV, 32inch LG HD smart TV,, EE 67mbps broadband, EE 5g mobile phone, PS4 and Acer aspire desktop pc i5 core.

The only UHD broadcast channels are a couple of the Sky Sports output.  No other numbered channel EPG content is UHD: that's only found on-demand and will be identified as such in the content description.

 

I don't believe there's any obligation on channels to identify true 4K or upscale.

But how do you know that they're uhd ? Am watching fhd through my sky glass TV 65" and I can't tell the difference between us/4k and FHD both pictures look the same.

Typically it's HDR which makes more difference: unfortunately Glass isn't particularly good at HDR.

I find the picture for HD very good unlike many customers, better than our previous Qled 4k TV. But I also find little difference between HD and 4k on Sky glass, sometimes I actually find it worse like when watching something on BBC iplayer like the recent Nightsleeper series.

@Decaff88  How old was the Qled 4k TV?
