Ok. Will try that. Although switching does work for Netflix and YouTube, as trying the 4k YouTube stream switches to 2160p output

p.s. Thanks for replying on here and the Virgin forum, wasn't sure if I'd get a reply in either

Is that an option which needs changing from the V6 box?

Yes. In the video output settings

It seems to work for YouTube.

Trying 2160 only output now.

Does this work, or is the box only upscaling?

Are they broadcasting it, or streaming over internet?

Ads look like 480P!

The UHD picture on YouTube was pants for the Europa Final watch it on the channel in UHD.

Yup.

You can see the LED’s in the ad displays.

No HDR though.

I removed my (quite old) Panasonic surround sound system from the loop, and the game came up on the Sony TV as 4K, when it was in the loop the V6 would only output at 1080p maximum, removing it gave me both 2160 options.

Just watched a bit of footy in UHD on the V6. Superb picture!

It will be on the channel , I've not seen BT Sport 4K but I hear it's very good. The YouTube 4K stream is generally poor however in my opinion.

It is on par with Sky Q UHD.

BBC UHD might have the edge with their HLG HDR though.

Yeah, it's definitely at least on a par with Sky Sports UHD. Really impressed with the PQ.

I have a friend who has the BT 4K box he always says it's good quality , I've been impressed so far with Sky Sports UHD but it would be nice to also have my BT Sports available in UHD.
