There are no regular channels broadcasting in UHD apart from some subscription Sports content.  The PSB channels you mention have very little UHD material, and what there is gets distributed on-demand.

 

At the moment the total amount of material being shot in 4K can't fill channel schedules.

The majority of non-movie UHD content is made up of drama series and documentaries distributed on demand.

Depends on what you watch. If you like US drama series and nature documentaries then you'll find quite a lot available in UHD. The UHD/Atmos add-on only provides Sky content in the higher resolution. Have a look at some of the UHD/HDR content available 'free' via the BBC iPlayer app (look for the UHD tag at the top of the programme thumbnails) to see if you can tell the difference in resolution and whether you think it's worth paying for to get some Sky content in the same format. 

You can always give it a try - check the MySky app and see if there's an offer for 2 months free UHD/Atmos. You can often repeat this offer and never need pay for UHD/Atmos.
