4K Smart Box showing sports in UHD

I am thinking of taking out the 9 month sports package. I have a 4K box - will we be able to watch Sky Sports in UHD?

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

Nope Now TV only offers 720p at 25fps for their sports streams at the moment.

 

Might increase to 1080p sometime this year not sure if the frame rate will remain at 25fps which is poor for sports or upped to a more respectable 50fps.

Thank you schnapps - I went on online chat and he said with a 4K box I would get Sky Sports in 1080 if that was how they broadcast it, but only 720 if they weren't transmitting at 1080. He didn't seem to have a clue what he was talking about.

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

Only 720p max at the moment (confirmed in this help article linked below).

I also own the Now TV 4K smart box and the only Apps that offer UHD content is YouTube, Netflix with a Premium sub and BBC iPlayer which had the Dynasties TV show on recently.
