Got me a new TV, got Sky Q but struggling to find anything that’s actually in UHD! Currently got BT sport on for the football but no sign of a UHD option.

Have you switched on the 4k option in the Sky Q settings?

A lot of Sky nature programs on catch up are on 4K+HDR which looks great, also their original programming like Temple. Netflix's content is mostly 4k HDR too. Also make sure you go into settings and ensure that your recordings are done in UHD.

I don't watch footy so the only "live" 4k stuff I can watch is the F1 which looks great on 4k. When the practice/qually/race is live press the red button and select Ultra HD.

Ok yeah got that sorted then

Was just wondering if there were a load of UHD channels I just wasn’t finding.

I’m sure you’ve seen it but there’s an UHD section in the ‘On Demand’ menu. Have to say I find Sky Q UHD underwhelming compared to the other streaming services. The IPlayer content is often superb though.

Sky Cinema also has UHD section.
