Christmas Movies

[Jacko78]

The few christmas movies that are currently available on sky are only available in SD (standard definition).

Why are they not HD or UHD please?

That would seem strange. For sky cinema, I think all films are available in HD.

There is the christmas24 movie channel which is not part of sky cinema, these I think are sd as they are lower budget productions.

What are some of the movies, for example?

How are you viewing films? Ie on the channel/linear or from on demand.

These are the typical films that sky always have available such as elf which last year was definitely available in UHD

I select them through sky cinema

All the latest films such as dune are still available to me in all formats so it's not a setting

I am having the same issue today. Other films o can get in UHD, so not sure why they are only available in standard definition

So checking on my sky q,  while on t he sky cinema tab it is only sd for the Christmas movies selections, there is no option for 'other formats'.

You could email viewer relations at viewerR@sky.uk

Mention the sky system you have (q, glass, stream, hd+)

I know with voice search on sky q, if I say "Christmas movies", it brings up a n array of films from the various choices.

There does seem more on it with the sky cinema logo than on the Christmas tab on sky cinema.

That is a great solution, thank you

Voice recognition pulls them all up in all formats including UHD 

Odd little glitch on sky Q though

I tried the blue button and said Christmas movies and it works, thank you

Hi all,

Thanks for posting and if you're new here welcome to the Sky Community forum, where customers like you are on hand 24/7 (almost) to offer some fantastic advice and help on all things Sky-related.

I've just checked my Sky Q box and can see there are films in HD: Elf and Arthur Christmas but some others like Love Actually and The Holiday are in SD. Let me see if I can find an answer internally on why this would be?
