Well, I tell you when it goes live and my box which is a version 1 2tb box won't support it I will not be paying anything for a box that actually works the way their service is intended.I wouldn't be surprised if they charge for this in the end. It is Sky after all.
Maybe you should wait until Wednesday before getting all upset, a post on sky community is saying all 2 tb boxes will work with hdr so maybe only the original 1 tb box won’t be compatible.Fuming that loyal Sky subscribers lose out again. It’s us loyal customers that give a **** about AV quality! Sort it out Sky...
They are not charging extra, unless of course you need to upgrade your box.I wouldn't be surprised if they charge for this in the end. It is Sky after all.
Not all 2tb boxes will work, these are the compatible onesMaybe you should wait until Wednesday before getting all upset, a post on sky community is saying all 2 tb boxes will work with hdr so maybe only the original 1 tb box won’t be compatible.
I’ve been with Sky long enough to know of the incompetence and lack of support for long standing customers thanksMaybe you should wait until Wednesday before getting all upset, a post on sky community is saying all 2 tb boxes will work with hdr so maybe only the original 1 tb box won’t be compatible.
I’m surprised they don’t retire their MPEG2 (SD) services. There can’t be that many customers with very old receivers that don’t support MPEG4 and the MPEG4 receivers can still output an SD video via SCART for compatibility with very old TVs. This would free up lots of bandwidth.
Ultimately Sky will move to internet only deliver.

Q was launched early 2016. The broadcast standard for HDR (HLG) wasn't ratified until late 2016..I had Q when it first rolled out, 5 years ago if my memory serves me correctly. It's laughable that they are only now getting ready to broadcast HDR!
Half a decade
MPEG 4 is nothing to do with HD.
Just checked my box 32B061 I got skyq within a couple of months of it coming out so no hdrThey are not charging extra, unless of course you need to upgrade your box.

Don't hold your breath. New installations ( i.e. new customers) will be their priority. Sky have yet to announce how much revenue they have lost with subscribers suspending/cancelling their sports channels. HDR has not been a priority up to now so they will hardly drop everything to swap boxes unless they charge.Just checked my box 32B061 I got skyq within a couple of months of it coming out so no hdr
hopefully get it swapped out before the sports return if they’re going to be in hdr
Ohhh *** my box isn't compatible then, great so much for being a loyal customer. What a cluster Fu** of a roll out.They are not charging extra, unless of course you need to upgrade your box.
