Here’s my post previously it may help some of you get a v2 box during lockdown, in fact it’s the only way as sky are not swopping v1 to v2 due to none HDR on the old boxes so don’t even ask so be creative like I was.
HDR content on sky is sparse I only found one thing show up on my Samsung TV displaying HDR and that was Gangs of Lemur Island.
I can have my HDR TV picture settings individual from from regular sky (i Use higher contrast enhanced HIGH to get HDR to pop with nits brightness) and they change automatically which is helpful.
To me Netflix content blows away sky content, the difference is quite large Actually.
Have an old incompatible sky box with HDR? Read my story below...
I had the old v1 sky Q 2TB box and sky are being funny about upgrading especially as they know there is a good chance they cannot be upgraded and I got fobbed off on the phone so clever me called back and told sky I had an issue with the main box disconnecting to mini boxes so got an engineer out lol and made sure they had new boxes when they arrived so clever me got a new SKYQ V2 box that’s HDR compatible as I had that erm issue with my V1 box. lmao
I will always play Netflix on the TV as it has better picture and sound quality I wish you could see how good it looks on my 82” Q70R it puts Sky to Shame it really does. And instant play on Netflix too no waiting.
Honestly I think sky have dropped the ball here with quality content because even now it’s hit and miss if they include an Atmos soundtrack even Dolby Digital + is few and far between but on Netflix almost everything is DD+.
Silly Sky keep using the old DD5.1 and not being funny this is 2020 yet Sky don’t care about quality where Netflix are the leaders.
The only downside in getting my V2 box is that I lost my UHD Atmos version of Blade Runner 2049.
Hope I inspired some of you to upgrade your Sky box free of charge as it’s erm faulty cough cough wink wink lol
