So ATM there's HD golf being upscaled to UHD/HDR.    Are Sky going to highlight when they're broadcasting native UHD/HDR?

My issue (from a Sky Q user, that detected 8-bit when setting UHD), when I watch the UHD feed on Sky Sports, the feed is slightly dark on the contrast side, and this has happened for the past year for the football, cricket and Formula 1, and makes it looked dull compare the the HD feed.

@NewtonBoy this issue has been raised in the private Superuser forum but as yet Sky have not commented. They do vary the on screen DOG on Sky sports F1 UHD feed where pre and post race content from Sky's own content which is native HD so no UHD in the DOG and the F1 TV cameras which are UHD and the DOG changes.

I only subscribe to the 2 Sky football channels not all Sky Sports.  I also have the HD and Ultra HD package.

However I cannot watch the Scottish Football in Ultra HDR as it asks me to upgrade to all the Sky Sports.  I dont watch other sports, so I wont pay for things I wont watch.

If this is now the case I will cancel the Ultra HD package as I cannot watch it under this set up.  Last season I could watch Ultra HD for all football.

[Neilos7]

They must have fixed this for the 2nd half of the Scottich Football  as its now working without asking me to upgrade.  New Season teething problems I suspect.

[Neilos7]

Its doing it again today. 

Now its stating Ultra HD requires COMPLETE SKY SPORTS so I cannot watch the Championship match in Ultra HD.  So I am paying for Ultra HD but cannot use it unless i get all the Sports chanels even though I only watch football.  Great move Sky.

@Neilos7  this has been highlighted to Sky in a closed forum 

[Neilos7]

So should i cancel the Ultra HD or will it be sorted out?

@Neilos7  From what I've heard single sports subscribers should have access to it, so there's probably a fault or someone has forgot to switch it on for single subs as per your experience yesterday
