Re: Sky Cinema and Entertainment UHD to launch

Hi Ben,

I'm a current Ultimate Oomph subscriber with TV360. I'm able to go into the Sky Cinema UHD screen under 'Movies' and select titles to play. From responses further up this thread, it seems other users are receiving 'unsubscribed' messages although it plays fine on my end. Other than the picture looking marginally better than the broadcast stream I see no improvement e.g. no HDR (is this part of the deal?), DD5.1 rather than DD5.1+ or Atmos. I assume this is playing the HD stream and missing the prompt for me to subscribe to UHD?

Before I pay for any upgrade, are you able to confirm if HDR and/or improved sound (DD+/Atmos) are included with the picture resolution boost on Sky Cinema UHD?

As a general comment (not aimed at yourself Ben), I find it frustrating that UHD is being charged on top of existing Ultimate Oomph packages and the promise of Sky Sports UHD and not having to faff around switching to Sky kept me with Virgin at my previous contract renewal in June as the Sky price/package was largely comparable. But hey ho, not particularly surprised and expecting to be hit with further costs when Sports do launch.
