Sky and HDR

Some of our Sky Q boxes are HDR-capable. To watch Sky Q in HDR, you’ll also need an Ultra HD or Sky Q experience (known as Sky Q Multiscreen in the Republic of Ireland) subscription, and an HLG HDR-ready TV. To see if your TV is HDR-ready, check your TV manual or manufacturer’s website:
