Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Am I supposed to get Amazon Prime in 4k through VMedia? I played 'Too Old to Die Young' through the V6 box and it looked absolutely awful - barely 720p. My v6 is set to output 2160p.

The same tv show streamed the same way (WiFi) through a BluRay player gets a lovely 4k picture.

Yes, you should get 4K. You should be able to tell the Prime Video app output by pressing 'up' to get the transport bar - that'll tell you the resolution format.

One thing to note though, currently Prime Video on the V6 only supports SDR. HDR support will come later but needs a V6 update.

The Now TV 10 month sports pass is back for £199. Cheapest way to watch Premiership football, so other subscriptions required.

It just says 'HD' when I press the up button. Odd.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Have you rebooted recently. If not try that as I had the same with my 4k TV and a reboot got it showing the proper resolution progression up to Ultra HD.

Maybe you selected the HD version of whatever you were watching.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Two terms I particularly dislike are "sophisticated" and "pragmatic".

Sophisticated implies someone is trying to pull the wool over my eyes. Pragmatic suggests previous optimism will go unrealised.

It's definitely the 4k version - it says so. I've restarted the box but it still says HD and looks pretty dire.

I know the box does 4K because I've had Wimbledon and the HLG beta stuff on it.

very strange.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Amazon Prime customers pay £79 a year to Amazon for a number of benefits, including Prime Video.
Prime Video can also, I believe, be bought separately for a monthly charge.

thanks I was mainly refering to the app on the V6 box it just says Amazon Prime Video so I take it this is only the film streaming service and you can't watch things like live ATP tennis or "the grand tour"

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
To watch the tennis, you either have to be an Amazon Prime customer or pay the monthly Amazon Video charge. You have to be a paying Amazon customer.

You can watch live tennis (Premier league in December too I would imagine) and the grand tour you can also watch content in UHD

£59 if you sub on Prime day.
Prime video costs £5.99 on it's own.
