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.

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.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
Even the official Virgin Media spec sheet lists HDR compatibility.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
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?

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.
