There is no chance of that, they don’t even film the NFL in UHD which is the biggest watched sport in the USA

Thinking of signing up to sky as I am fed up of not being able to watch the F1 live.
Via the website it's £57/m for:
Is that the best I'll get or is there a way to get a better deal?
Thanks!

If you just want the F1, then look at the Now TV passes with boost (if they still do it) or F1TV via VPN.
I've used Now a few times with random day passes (and boost). Never been that impressed with the quality (it's not my internet connection).
Also, want the extra benefits of having sky.

Some of the england cricket when broadcast via sky tends to be UHD.
However, i would like to see more sports in HDR. My opinion is that HDR has more of an impact than UHD, especially with good TVs that can upscale well already.
Phone Sky and tell them one of the buttons has stopped working. They’ll send you another free.
Cheers.

Yeah and everyone else is paying for it in increased prices.
Standard inflation sadly. Netflix also put their prices up which would have a knock on effect. Disney done the same and so on.

hehe I was only jesting. It's still the football that the cost gets passed on to the rest of us

Am I right in thinking the sports is the only one that doesn't go up?hehe I was only jesting. It's still the football that the cost gets passed on to the rest of us
Having a weird thing happen occasionally with my Q box. I have a harmony remote, not sure if there’s any correlation between me changing activities into tv or if it is just random.
Basically..
Hit watch tv on my harmony remote (or turn Q box on)
Gives me green light on the box, but no pic
I hit power again on the remote (harmony or Q)
Picture flashes on briefly, then goes black again
Box now shows an orange light (standby)
Thag just goes round in circles, it’s like the box thinks it’s off when it’s on, and vice versa.
Only thing to do is unplug power from the box
What’s going on?

No, nothing I can push on the Harmony or Sky remote wakes it up. Pressing power toggle on the Harmony does the same thing as above- where pic flicks on for a second then the box turns off.

Bit of a bump.
Can somebody confirm, the Sky Q Mini is basically a slave right? If I start a download it actually happens on the main box, meaning the limiting factor of the download speed is actually the connection between the main box and the router right?
All the Mini is doing is connecting to the main box, so actually it doesn't really need a very fast connection?

The minibox will even continue to receive satellite fed content from the main box even if the broadband goes down.
