Sky Sports UHD

I have a LG OLED tv and I have had Sky Sports UHD for a few months but the picture is not as good as the HD version in my opinion.  When I scroll down from the INFO details on, for example a UHD football match, the quality reads "HD".  When I am watching a UHD film from Sky Cinema, I scoll down the INFO page and the quality reads "4K". Do other readers have this discrepancy on their 360 boxes with Sports UHD?

  • I think it does only show HD I will double check next time the football is on.

    Does HDR/HLG activate on your LG TV when you watch Sky Sports UHD.

      Yes, HDR/HLG is displayed briefly. Forgot to mention originally the situation is the same for TNT Ultimate.

        TNT Ultimate does only show HD there have been post's about before with some people people questioning the picture quality, looks OK on my LG.

         

  • I’ve said this on previous post. But if it’s display HLG on your tv display. Isn't this UHD? I don’t understand this. Why does the info says HD and not 4K? I’m lost there.

      I am guessing it's just incorrect metadata for the channel, it would be interesting if someone has access to the channels on Sky if it says the same on a Sky box.

       

  • Both Sky Sports and TNT Sports (and Eurosport) provide HLG only on their UHD broadcasts.
