Suppose I am one of the lucky ones with my Sky Q box supporting HDR but personally I would not want to pay Sky 50 pence let alone 50 quid for the new upgraded box.
Yes the picture quality is excellent but come on, how times do you want to watch the Gangs of Lemur Island, just not enough content at the moment to warrant throwing any money at it.

But your quite happy to pay them $$$ for a box you rent and never own ?
and happy to pay the is it £1-2 price increase or more that comes in Sept every year ?
ah, ok, That's why it looks so terrible on my non HDR box, if they go HDR on Netflix does that mean it will look the same and they'll "make" me upgrade because it will look so bad on non HDR boxes or will there be 2 versions of Netflix?The site is for registering interest so it doesn't commit you to paying £50 for the upgrade. My guess it will probably end up as the standard £20 admin fee at most in the end.
If anyone remembers the Thomson Sky+HD box replacement programme they had years ago, they originally charged the standard £60 call out but quickly started replacing the boxes for free.
The thing with the V1 boxes is not just that they don't support HDR but any HDR content isn't displayed correctly because because it showing content in a BT.2020 colour space in a Rec.709 space which causes colour shifts.

Latest rumour from Sky is that the non HLG boxes won't have HDR support enabled in Netflix or any other apps.

Absolutely, more than happy on both counts mate.

I do and I can log in on my TV, my problem is my LG is a low/medium model and it's HDR is'nt very good so at the moment I steer clear of it.Netflix already have a top tier premium 4K/HDR level, I imagine you'd need to be signed up for that one, if you aren't already, either directly with NF themselves, or Sky.
