Is BT Sport Ultimate on 433 HDR

I now have a BT TV Box Pro, seems a nice bit of kit. What I don’t understand is on channel 433, my TV doesn’t recognise a HDR signal. On channel 465, which is BT Sport Ultimate demo, it is shown as HDR, but no content is being broadcast. Why isn’t Sport Ultimate on 433 HDR?

Ultimate and Ultimate HDR are on separate channels for technical reasons I'd imagine because not everything on Ultimate is in HDR...

It's probably something to do with the non HDR boxes not being able to decode the HDR feed and getting confused so they've separated them out...

When HDR content is available you get a notification to press the green button and it will automatically move you to the HDR ultimate channel if you are on the normal ultimate channel.
