When will we get a 4K/UHD linear channel on Sky?

As someone who's had Sky Q since March and occasionally uses a Sky+HD box, I'd say you're utterly wrong about carrying over the old EPG.

UHD channels on the EPG may well happen, when there's actually enough UHD content to warrant it.

Demos in stores always look good, live broadcasts tend not to be to the same standard. I have an LG OLED and it does produce a brilliant picture, although i have been more impressed with HDR than 4K. The Grand Tour in 4K and HDR looks absolutely stunning.

I guess we will have to wait and see how good F1 looks in 4K.
Any news on when Sky are going to implement HDR?

UHD should have been an evolution from Sky+HD.

Not the wreckage that is Sky Q

Is this thread simply concerning Sky's output, or can we extend it to the possibility of other linear channels being UHD but appearing on the Sky EPG - thus requiring a suitable box to view which, of course, hasn't happened yet? Thinking maybe a Japanese news channel, or a dedicated channel where, say, Sony or Toshiba can "demonstrate" 4k? OK, won't kick-off 4k big time, but it's a start, and sport/films would probably follow.

But the key is how many have got 4k sets and wanting linear content on there and would jump at the chance of a new box should 4k come along?
