UHD access. I have upgraded to Sky UHD. Do I have to pay for UHD downloads?
I am on a free 2 monmth trial of Sky UHD. I have found a list of films on UHD, but do I have to pay to view them. I have a new oled UHD TV

Re: UHD access. I have upgraded to Sky UHD. Do I have to pay for UHD downloads?
You'll have to pay for films from Sky Cinema.
The UHD pack basically gives you access to whatever UHD content there is for your current package. For example, I have access to Sky Sports F1, so I get to watch F1 in UHD, but I don't have access to the rest of the sports channels, so can't see any of those unless I upgrade to the full Sky Sports channels.
So, you'll keep your current content, but be able to view UHD content where it's applicable. Basically, it's an overlay to your existing set of packages.
Hope that makes sense?
Don't forget to read the T&Cs for your trial package. By default, you'll probably be billed for the package after the first two months. If you don't want it, you'll need to cancel the add-on.
Pete.

The UHD pack only gives you access to UHD material under your current subscription.
Without Sports or Movies then the material is fairly limited. Quite a few series, e.g. The Last of Us, are available to download.
If you're looking at purchasing or renting movies in UHD then the UHD pack has no benefit to that.
Remember you have to give 1 month notice, so do this after 1 month to ensure you are not charged.
