This is a month out of date but gives a comprehensive list of most HDR content on Netflix and Amazon

The HDR content on Netflix is actually in Dolby Vision for which I believe hardware manufacturers need to pay a licensing fee to Dolby for,
does anyone know if the V6 has the ability to decode Dolby Vision or have VM cheapskated out of licensing it?

Netflix supports both Dolby Vision and UltraHD Premium (HDR).

MM is correct that Netflix support both HDR10 and Dolby Vision. There's a significant amount of content available in HDR. Has nothing been mentioned from VM with regards to HDR Netflix?

The VM V6 does not support HDR. It will come, but the date is not known.

True, refer to my previous post and the attached screenshot.

Well it does!

Virgin V6 – Features

For the V6, Virgin has added a 4K output, complete with HDR. HDR is something that Sky can’t add without releasing new hardware, so this hands Virgin a slight advantage. Virgin also offers support for Netflix in 4K, which Sky Q is missing.

That review is full of errors,

Even the official Virgin Media spec sheet lists HDR compatibility.

Software update in due course. Not there in current production software level.

Do we know whether the V6 box has a h265 hardware decoder? Also do the V6 and original TiVo box have DVB-C or DVB-C2 tuners?

Ah, that's what gunner was referring to. Thanks for the clarification.

So would I be correct saying we're waiting for two updates to make Netflix HDR a possibility? One from VM to enable HDR on the V6 box itself and a second from Netflix updating the app?

See post #244.
When the TiVo software becomes available, Netflix will be ready, if not already.

That's Marco Polo isn't it?

I bet some of the scenes are absolutely stunning in HDR.
