TNT UHD

[ThePunisher]

Since the switch from Discovery + to HBO Max, none of the TNT channels are UHD

I’ve tried looking at the schedule and allsorts and I cannot find any option for UDH anymore. 
UHD was available on the TNT sports app and Discovery + with my EE Subscription, so I know its not my subscription that is the issue. 

anyone know where we find this? Sports without UHD is terrible quality now

I assume you are talking about the HBO Max app?

If so it can be difficult at times to find the UHD versions of events - usually but not always one of the tiles under coming soon will say UHD when an event is in UHD.

I find the fail-safe method is to open HBO Max:

1. click TNT on the left
2. see upcoming and click the go to full schedule
3. choose your sport [usually football but I believe there is also Rugby Union in UHD]
4. when you look at the events coming soon, you will see any of the tiles that have UHD on them - e.g. on Thursday evening one of the two Nottm Forest tiles has UHD.

To see what is coming, the programme guide for TNT Sport Ultimate will have it - see the TV guide for channel 433.

You assumed correctly. I did look at the upcoming schedule as I indicated in my post, and there is nothing that says UHD or otherwise in all of the listed ones I’ve scrolled down. 

it looks like HBO are now only showing a small very select few football matches and snooker matches in UHD , rather than there being a TNT Sports 1/2 UHD dedicated channel that we had previously on TNT Sports and then on Discovery*

This is just madness

I'm not sure there has been any significant change in what is shown in UHD for some time.

Tonight there is Rugby Union.

Tomorrow there is a Premier League match and the FA Cup semi-final.

Sunday is the other FA Cup Semi-final

Well on TNT and Discovery plus, all sports channels had a UHD option , for example TNT Sports 1 & TNT Sports 1 UHD. 

HBO does not have the dedicated UHD channels, it seems to only show UHD on certain fixtures. 

[Richardr66]

I'm afraid your memory is different to mine. Mine is that TNT Sports [and BT Sport before it] has only ever had the one UHD channel [TNT Sports Ultimate] and that has only shown a few events.

There has only ever been a single TNT Sports Ultimate channel - a single channel showing UHD content.

As I understand it on  EETV  boxes  TNT Sports broadcast TNT sports 1  to 4 in both SD and HD  versions , in addition there are (two)  TNT Sport Ultimate  channels (433/465)  that will broadcast UHD events  when they are available.  Those two channels normally broadcast the same live UHD event  it is just that 465  is also  with HDR.  Older EETV Humax 4k  boxes would  not be able to handle the 465 channel but would have the 433 channel.. In some cases  where TNT Sports did not have a 4K HDR feed  they might only put the event on 433 - not aware of this happening for some time as generally it was some voverseas broadcasts. Some ooher TNT Sports extra streams are broadcast on TNT sports5-10  channels on EETV  boxes  again both SD and HD versions being provided.

WBD streaming platforms (discovery+ initially and now HBO Max)  I believe consider TNT Sports 1 to 4 as linear channels that can be streamed. All the rest are considered as other streams so whilst you may see a TNT Sports 5 or TNT Sports Ultimate or indeed a Eurosport graphic (DOG) when viewing the streamed. As they dont provide a filter or a comprehensive search for UHD content  on the apps this makes finding it by looking for a UHD  marker on a image tile  whilst scrolling file challenging. 

it would help if filtering of uHD content was availble for Sports section of the HBO Max app. It would also be helpful if TNT  Sports presenters and on screen announcementd actually identified that coverage of current and upcoming fixtures was available on TNT Sport Ultimate  , they currently only seem to identify the TNT1-4 and HBO Max (for streaming)  with no mention of coverage  in UHD.
