Anyone noticed that #534 now appears to be Sky Sports F1 UHD in HDR full time?

Hi ozsat, 

Thanks for your post. 

We do now have a few channels that support UHD but not specific to F1. 

Channel 534 is a main event channel so will show different events where available. 

Please let us know if you have any questions 🙂 

Thanks,

#532 is the Main Event channel. #533 and #534 are Sky UHD 1 and 2, as they are on Sky platform.

UHD1 has different sports as required and is part-time.

UHD2 (on #534) has been inactive for a long time but is "currently" carrying F1 UHD full time. It may be temporary but as been there more than a week now.

It was never a question but was a message for F1 fans.

Sky Sports Main Event UHD is a direct simulcast of the existing Main Event with Sky Sports Ultra HD 1 and Ultra HD 2 offering programmes from the rest of Sky Sports channels. I was expecting F1 simulcasts and I am pleased to see a simulcast of Sky Sports F1 on channel 534 for several hours today.

VM actually launched the F1 UHD channel before Sky

https://rxtvinfo.com/2023/sky-sports-launches-uhd-f1-channel/ 

Sky Sports F1 UHD launched this morning on Virgin Media and arrived on Sky Q at around 3pm this afternoon. The launch comes ahead of this weekend’s first race of the season – the Bahrain GP, which is live on Sky Sports F1 at 3pm on Sunday 5th March 2023.

The channel joins Sky Sports Main Event UHD, which first launched last year. Sky also offers a selection of other sports in UHD via a dedicated red button channel, or via Virgin Media channel 534.
