And YouTube, but only using Chromecast Ultra at the moment.

And UHD Blu-ray. There are some great movies out already with HDR. No Dolby Vision titles yet, though. Maybe next year!

I think it's because Sky Q was launched before Ultra HD was available. A lot of the Sky Q info out there pre-dates Ultra HD and for some bizarre reason best known to themselves Sky did just say "HDMI 1.4" on their initial, pre-UHD spec sheet, which confused a lot of people at the time. They should have said "HDMI 1.4 (HDMI 2.0 via firmware update when UHD is launched)" or something similar, to avoid confusion and to help journalists who don't look further than out of date internet info for their articles !

Since tech sites do specifically mention HDR when talking about the V6. And it being an advantage of the v6 over skyq.

Maybe sky will mention that they to can do HDR with an update.

Does the comment below mean If both are connected by wifi then you can record 12 shows are once, without having to say what box and does it show 2tb on either box

" Virgin Media has cleverly designed the new boxes to connect to each other and increase the storage. For example, if you have two Virgin TV V6 boxes, your storage capacity increases to 2TB (1TB per box) and you can record up to 12 shows at once. You can then play them back on either box without knowing, nor caring where the programme is stored"

Interesting. But no idea. Yeah, usually you'd have to look for your correct named box in the category section in my shows where it says "tivo boxes", i'e "living room box" "bedroom box" or what ever.

Hi, do yo know what the number was?

I had a missed call from, 01586 482335
Campbeltown, Scotland

But they didn't leave a voicemail. I'm worried it was VM but when I call it back I'm on hold for 5 minutes then it cuts me off saying goodbye

Just dont want to miss the opportunity of a free box, ive got 3 tivo boxes presently and want shot of refurbs, 1 of which is proving unreliable.

rather only have to pay, £100 than £150 for 3x, even if they only give me 1 free its something
