Hi,
Any help greatly appreciated. Ive a UHD HDR LG tv. Ive just installed my new UHD 1TB Sky Q box. Ive went to setup and changed the picture to 2160 10-bit which was no issue. Already the inage is alot better than my previu box.
Main issue i have is that ive recored UHD in football and Cricket today and theyve failed to record. I also cant seem to get and option to watch a live sport in UHD on main event. Ive a full sky sports subscription which included the HD Channels for it. Do i need to subscribe for the UHD? I dont have the HD sub for the rest of the channels as its usually sports 24/7 in our house.
Thanks in advance Paddy

The list price for the UHD add on (on top of the HD add on) is currently £4pm
Somteimes it can be discounted but this is usually by taking it alongside other add ons

Hi F9WLER,
I went through similar situation; on first look one might well think that a "Sky Q 1Tb UHD box" automatically offers a UHD picture. However, from working in broadcasting I know that to deliver UHD material there's a bunch of extra tech involved; different cameras at sports events, storage, and various gubbnis to move truly vast amounts of data fast for the higher resolution. All very expensive gear, so it costs a bit more. I took Sky mainly for sports, and got the HD/UHD pack included for a few months as part of a promotion. The quality IS awesome. I stuck with it when the deal ran out, but come renewal time I had to scale back the cost so dropped it again. Now the football season's back I'm tempted again as I have a great UHD tv, but it's all extra dosh. One thought: if you have a lot of movies/entertainment/kids subscriptions I'd say it's definitely worth the c.£4 per month; whereas If like me you only have sports then it's a bit less value. Your mileage may vary
