Is there no HDR on the discovery app. The last 3 games on a Saturday I've watched haven't had HDR or is the HDR not available on the app?

Yes I have a capable projector and HDR is always on with he sky games . I used to have it through the BT/EE box and had HDR.

You might want to consult the Sky pricelist.

Not that EE TV isn’t notorious for exactly what you have to buy extra to get HD, UHD and HDR 😛

The poster needs to speak to Sky if the puck isn’t behaving, it does support discovery+ UHD HDR, regardless of who you pay for access or how much.

It’s either a setting problem or a dodgy puck.

It is from EE mate. I could get it from sky in the actual TV side of it via stream but it costs a extra 10 quid where as because I'm a bit and ee customer it's only 20 a month, but I do have the HDR as it works on the app on the BT/ee box, seems it just doesn't work on the sky stream box. Can't be anything in the settings as HDR works fine on sky sports UHD that's why it's very strange!

Not the end of the world I'll just have to use the BT box on Saturdays and midweek.

Do you no this 100% as in you yourself have a sky stream box and HDR is working on the app in there for you?

I do not have a Sky Stream box. 

I know that you can use the discovery+ app on any Sky device regardless of who you pay for the app or how much, and that the app displays UHD HDR via Sky Stream because I can see pages of threads on the subject on the Sky community.

Just did some further testing out of curiosity.

So discovery app and the apple TV app no HDR at all .

Sky Atlantic vod like game of thrones ect no HDR.

Amazon prime HDR working fine. And as I said sky sports UHD HDR works fine. So it's really strange how some content works fine and some doesn't. Guess I'm going to have to ring sky tomorrow because it definitely seems like it's the sky stream box problem.

Just a further update on this. So I just got off the phone to sky and they say its a licensing issue he thinks. The stream box is capable of HDR as we no but for some reason no HDR on the TNT sports through the stream box. He didn't seem 100% confident. Can anybody else confirm who has TNT sports through the app on the stream box that they can also not get HDR on the ultimate channel.

Thank you.

After doing a bit of testing. TNT sport Ultimate is a mess. As if the discovery+ app wasn't bad enough. This is what I found worked and didn’t, all through discovery+ app on TNT sport Ultimate channel:

LG OLED OS  - UHD, HDR & Dolby Atmos (only one with all three working)

Apple TV 4K - UHD, no HDR, no Dolby Atmos

Firestick 4K max - UHD, no HDR, no Dolby Atmos

SkyQ 2TB box - UHD, HDR, no Dolby Atmos.

This is nothing to do with settings being on or off  on my devices by the way. Make it make sense, what a mess!

I knew it wasn't my settings 😂

Well how strange is this. So as I said the app on my sky stream box no HDR. But I got a apple 4k box a few days ago and the HDR works on that.

Very strange hey. Works on mine but not yours.

But yeah very weird, some boxes work and some don't.

Are you sure you aren't forcing HDR? I have my Apple TV 4K picture settings set to 4K SDR and turn match frame rate on so HDR only activates when the source is HDR.
