UHD on projector

Hi,

I have recently moved to Sky Stream from Sky Q, for a number of reasons.

I'm reasonably impressed, so far, apart from a couple of issues; one minor, one less so.

The minor issue is CEC being problematic.

The major problem is that it refuses to play UHD on my projector. When I try to change, I just get a black screen, before it eventually switches back.

i know what the issue is, of course: I have a Sonos arc, hence have to interpose an HDFury Arcana. However, since this isn't an issue for either Sky Q, or AppleTV 4k, I don't see why it should be for the puck.

I am willing to either use a different eARC extractor, admitting defeat and cancelling UHD, or giving Sky Stream up as a bad job and cancelling my contract. 
Any thoughts from the community?

Re: UHD on projector

Actually, much easier than imagined...

it's just that the box doesn't allow very long for the sync when switching from HD to UHD. I directly connected the box to the projector, switched to 2160p, then switched it off and replugged via the arcana et voila.

Thanks for the advice CoffeeDrinker; it spurred me on to find a solution!
