Sure, but that's entirely irrelevant to the consumer (unless of course you have a customer that doesn't have Internet).Different broadcast methods and different compression types.
It's no excuse and you know it. Sky compression = turning it up to the hilt as long as people buy it in order to cut costs. Sadly they have the monopoly so they can get away with it (for now).Different broadcast methods and different compression types.
There are bandwidth considerations for the satellite broadcasts to consider as well. It’s a trade off.It's no excuse and you know it. Sky compression = turning it up to the hilt as long as people buy it in order to cut costs. Sadly they have the monopoly so they can get away with it (for now).
Then have an option for those who can stream it 4K content, the box does a speed check and if it's good enough it defaults to a higher quality internet stream. But Sky's internet stream will also be bad, look at Now TV and Sky Go, both really poor examples of IQ compared to modern day standards. For the money Sky charge they really ought to up their game.There are bandwidth considerations for the satellite broadcasts to consider as well. It’s a trade off.
There are also still thousands without fast enough internet to stream 4K/UHD content. Satellite has none of those issues.
Why operate to the lowest common denominator? There are far more people with decent broadband - enough to stream 4k/UHD. The fact Netflix have more subscribers in the UK than Sky pretty much proves that point.There are bandwidth considerations for the satellite broadcasts to consider as well. It’s a trade off.

It was the same for the world Cup. Absolutely lovely picture from the BBC and here's sky with a woeful "HD" picture and a sub par "UHD".Just watching the Holland game in UHD HLG! Sky really need to take note, now this is how football should be broadcast, not the current pitiful UHD quality currently broadcast

It’s though the IPlayer app on my TVIS this through Sky Q box, or another way/device?
It's during the game, load the iplayer app and scroll to the footy. You should get an option for uhd feed. It's not on there as an option outside of match times.Ah, just tried through my firestick 4k and doesnt seem to get UHD there. Must be a TV app only thing unless theres a setting or you dont just watch the channel straight from the main screen in the iplayer app?
Agreed. I’m binning them off, fed up of paying over the odds for substandard picture quality.Just watching the Holland game in UHD HLG! Sky really need to take note, now this is how football should be broadcast, not the current pitiful UHD quality currently broadcast
