Sky Sports UHD free on channel 401 - Existing UHD TV + Sky sports HD Package Subscribers @ Sky TV

UHD on Sky sports was a paid add on but i recently received an email from Sky that it is now free. Cancel your UHD sports subscription else they may continue to bill you although it is now free.

    You still need to have a UHD subscription. They just changed the channel number so 401 is now automatically UHD. Your screen shot doesn’t state anywhere it’s free. You still need the full Sky Sports and UHD pack.

    Anyone without the pack should have the HD or SD version of Sky Sports at 401. (edited)

    Yep , it’s £4 a month for UHD (£2 for me on a deal ) . It isn’t free

    Cant believe sky are still charging extra for hd. Completely mad nutters, with most people having at least a 720 p screen or better.. (edited)

    What do you need and can I set up on my own or got to pay someone?

    Ha ha! And I was there thinking someone had made a sensible decision to move UHD straight to 401 to save me having to press select, go through the menu or go to channel 858 (edited)

    Crazy how this hasn’t been sorted out for virgin media customer. Still stuck in the Stone Age with HD

    Yeah it’s pathetic they advertised 4K coming to virgin years ago and we are still waiting for sky sports

    They still charge for HD so doubt they are gonna give away UHD.
    We can hope.

    Isn’t in UHD for me this evening with only HD package.. sounds as though they’ve just moved the channel number as others have said.

    So anyone who just wants football cannot now watch in UHD even if they have the UHD pack too. Total BS from sky yet again. They also have the cheek to say it’s a free upgrade. I have the football two pack and have been able to watch in uhd until this change. Thanks sky, I will be cancelling the football packs cos of this. (edited)
