Sky F1 sound

[digglerthelegend]

Watching FP3 on Sky F1 UHD and the sound is awful compared to SkySpME UHD.

The audio on sky sports f1 sounds terrible. It's only coming through as 2 channel stereo and sounds very compressed. Main event does not have this issue, this is working correctly, Dolby digital + 5.1. Is this a known issue? And if so is there a fix date.

Yes. Theres no Dolby digital on the f1UHD channel currently , its pcm.
Main event UHD has DD though. Since its all being simulcast on main event its not an issue today really 

[AMH1]

It is if you have only set your box to record on Sky F1 UHD and your not at home 😭 

[blade+the]

Thats true. Why doesnt sky go app allow remote recording on UHD channels yet would be the question 

[SJ16]

Football is on main event tomorrow so it will be an issue. It was the same yesterday, I was hoping it would be fixed for today. I wonder if  Sky even knows.

Quite, let's see if Sky can resolve it.

Could be an issue if you only subscribe to F1 only @blade+the 

Seeing as Sky Sports Main Event is only available with Sky Sports Complete Pack.

@SJ16 correct football is on Main Event but the Bahrain F1 GP doesn't start until 2:55pm

But hopefully the sound issue should be sorted by then on F1 UHD.

I only have the F1 channel and the UHD version is really quiet compared to the HD channel 😞

Same for me. Outputting at Stereo PCM on my Sonos soundbar while I was watching the F2 race just now..However,  I have noticed it's working in Dolby Digital Plus on the Main Event channel (401) though, which is also in UHD luckily enough.  

[SJ16]

True, the main race is in between football but I usually watch the build up before the main race, hopefully they can sort it. Plus my recordings are all set for f1 uhd, having to record main event as a backup is a bit annoying.

Have you tried the ME UHD channel ?

I am not sure but I think when a sport is simulcast then I think there is a chance that a viewer who only has a single sport Subscription  may be able to access the ME channel whilst it is simulcast

[Matt19849]

Yeah just tried it and it says I don't have the sunscription to watch that channel

I am very sorry that didn't work but I think it was worth trying
