No 4K/UHD on Netflix app through Sky Stream

As the title suggests. I am receiving UHD content through other apps and the sport channels. When I switch to the tv's Netflix, UHD is available. The stream box is connected directly to the tv.

@Tom260  Do you have Netflix Premium through Sky?

@Tom260  Does "The Dig" show as 4k/UHD at all on Netflix?

 

Also I would check that Streaming apps are set to UHD as default Settings --> Picture --> Default streaming format --> set to UHD

"The Dig" is only available in HD via the Sky Stream, but when viewing through the tv app, UHD is available.

 

Default streaming format is set to UHD.

@Tom260  If you've not already done so I would try refreshing the apps through the settings menu.

I've given it a go, does it it take a few minutes or quite a while? Seems to just be stuck on saying "your apps are refreshing".

Refreshing of apps can take up to 24 hours apps, but often is just a few hours.


Just to make sure your Sky Stream is playing out UHD and or UHD/HDR fine 

Try playing a UHD/HDR on demand from Sky, like a White Lotus episode.

Just say 'hdr' to bring up a list of Sky channels on demand uhd/hdr to play.

 

Also, try playing something on the BBC iPlayer app in UHD.

Just search UHD within the iPlayer app and it will bring up plenty to try.
