Sky sports in uhd

[danbat72]

Is it possible to subscribe to sky sports in uhd on bt TV? I was told by a member of staff on chat earlier that this is possible for an extra £7pm but I can't see how or where I can get get this. Any ideas folks?

@danbat72  BT is a different company to EE you should be asking on BT forums.  Try HERE

@Chris_B BT TV doesn't exist anymore. This is the best place to ask questions about EE TV.

@danbat72 Sky don't currently provide their 4k streams to EE TV.

@DarrenDev   I didn’t know that.  Thanks for the update.    Silly question how does @danbat72 have BT TV if it doesn’t exist any more ? 

[DarrenDev]

The same way that people still say they have BT Sport - it takes a while for everyone to adjust after a rebrand.

@DarrenDev   Haha.   Gotcha.

So when will we get Sky Sports in UHD on EE TV,as it is available on Sky.

It does look to be testing - new UHD channels appeared in EE’s multicast range last month.

But the official line is that it’s coming and no date has been given. I recon that’s all you’ll get out of them for now. 

Apparently EE’s boxes need a software update to receive them first.

It’s available right now to direct Now subscribers, and as such, we watched the Series 2 finale of House of the Dragon in UHD with Dolby Atmos on Monday last.

But it wouldn’t have worked on my YouView box, even though that is UHD, as the hardware won’t support it. And EE TV also need to get the billing for it worked out for subscribers taking Now via EE TV; and both are currently an ongoing process.
