F1 in UHD on Sky.

andicole0 · 22 Mar 2017 at 14:27

Is this going to be available simply on the F1 HD channel?

You can also go through the Guide, then sports and UHD.

Thanks, not really obvious is it.

You will also get the red button notification to watch in UHD if you are watching in standard HD.

This might be a stupid question - but I'm trying to work out if I'll be able to get 4k with my account.

I've got Sky Q silver with 1 additional Sky Q mini. The website says i need: Sky Q Multi-screen which is what i assume this means but my account doesn't say multi-screen any anywhere so don't want to assume!

I've not yet got a 4k telly but i'd be mighty tempted if my Sky bundle had this. Any ideas?

You have access to UHD via the multi screen subscription.

Marker is correct, as I expected him to be. The QMS subscription allows access to UHD content.

Just a thought, can you view the F1 channel normally?

Is the UHD only available to Sky Q customers?

Yes as I've got the F1 package.

Now, the hunt for a 4k TV

Yes, and you need the Sky Q 2TB box and a Sky Q multiscreen sub. You'll already have this if you take or have a Mini box.

Ah, ok. I've not invested in Sky Q yet.
Am i right in saying you work at Sky?

Tempted to sign up for 60% off SD at £19/mo for skysports. with this package is it possible to pay £6 more (25) and get it in HD or would I be better getting the full package at £32/mo? Only really want it for F1

Correct. We have an existing customer upgrade to Q offer but it's not fantastic. Free Mini box instead of £49.

Either one is unlikely to include sports HD. Worth checking though.

Ah great. I'm currently on the F1 into package (Sky + HD got me F1). I did have Sky Sports but i cancelled it in Dec due to moving, etc. Looking to get Sports back potentially, but depends on price. Do you know if they are offering any return to Sky Sports offers?

Steeps · 23 Mar 2017 at 16:47

It's near on impossible to find out on the current Sky site what you need to get HD and the cost, even the agents on chat don't fully understand it. Complete Bundle is £32/mo after 60% off, claims it's all in HD. Sports Bundle is £19/mo but in SD. In the small print I can get HD for £6/mo (total £25/mo) but there's no option for this when selecting my package, online chat wants at least the Box Set package at £15.20/mo then £11 extra for Sky Sports (£26.20/mo) but again no option to select this. The website is a bit of a joke to be honest.

2 different advisors gave 2 different answers (both logged), got the full package for £26.70/mo after discount/credit all in HD for sports+cinema in the end.

Disappointing to hear, my current deal (£30pm for everything +HD) is coming to an end next month and will jump up by £50. I can see me cancelling on the call of shame as I also wanted to ask about moving to UHD on a new deal.
