Ultra HD & HD TV
I have been watching ultra HD on my HD tv for sometime now and it has suddenly stopped working. Same weekly programs. Every time I try the channel it says ’Your TV might not support this channel’. If I play a new recording it says ‘UHD not supported’. It’s a shame I haven’t kept anything I’ve previously recorded and watched from the UHD channel to see if it still works.
The Virgin documentation say’s it should downscale content to fit your TV. Which it did, I assume until now. I haven’t changed anything e.g. connections, cables etc. Worked last week.
Hello Derevko,
We have been enhancing the security for Ultra HD content delivered over IP by upgrading from HDCP 1.4 to HDCP 2.2.
This upgrade may affect certain customers using Stream, Virgin TV 360, and V6 boxes with TVs that are incompatible with HDCP 2.2. This change ensures we are compliant with updated content protection standards required by content providers.
TVs that are over 10 years old may not support this standard. If a TV is incompatible, a customer will see the following error message:
“Your TV might not support this content. Need help? Call us on 0345 454 1111 or 150 from a Virgin Media home phone.”
OR “TV may not support UHD. Call 0345 4541111 for help”
Which you have confirmed has been displayed on your TV, so we're sad to say that this content would no longer work on your TV as the new content protocol wouldn't be supported by your TV.
Kind Regards,
