Re: UHD on Virgin Media
I added it to the remainder of our contract (14 months) for free a few weeks ago, just used live chat to argue why a customer who's had their services for near on 20 years has to pay £6 where as a new customers gets it free. Took about 10 mins and we now have a £6 credit on our bill for the next 14 months.
I've only got it for the football really when it's available.

There is a definite difference between the 2 but the lack of HDR on the service is disappointing.
Make sure you are selecting the film from the Sky Cinema UHD and Sky UHD channels as it’s easily missed.

Hmm... If you have a 4K TV, Automatic should select 4K. Would you mind putting it back to Automatic, and see if you can get the TV to say what resolution it is receiving. Also please let me know the TV model number.
