HDR programming - next up

ozsat — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 16:15:23 GMT

After last weekend's boxing - next up in HDR will be the UEFA Super Cup on 11th August.

Hopefully Premier League will follow although currently HDR is not mentioned - but that is often the case until a few days before the match.

Most of the games on BT Sport Ultimate are 4K HDR. The only ones that aren't are normally European games where the host broadcaster doesn't support it but that's quite rare

But not a lot of the programming is HDR even when 4K.

Only one programme has been HDR since the inital release of the HDR set-top-box but there has been a little live 4K rugby and football.

Currently the Premier League match in the 4K schedules is not marked HDR - only the Super Cup is.

I watched nearly every football match on ultimate via the app and they in HDR. Generally if football on ultimate is 4K HDR with Atmos sound

@ozsat What about Brentford v Valencia on 7 August , it seems to be listed as being on the HDR channel .

Brentford game is now carrying the HDR and Atmos markers in the schedule.

Man United (14th) and Liverpool (21st) are not carrying either - but it is not unusual for them to updated later.

Still no HDR marker set for Man Utd this Saturday - and not listing in the 465 EPG either.

If the match is on Ultimate, it's normally in HDR especially the Premier League. Occasionally the early game might not be though if BT have 2 games to cover in 1 day

I know they usually are but not always - but the game is not listing in the EPG currently so can not set it to record.

Chelsea Vs Villarreal should be in 4K HDR tonight on Ultimate 👍

Yes - that has been in the HDR EPG for a week or so and looks really good.

The Man Utd v Leeds game eventually appeared in the HDR EPG today - so finally able to create a series link.

So I created a series link on channel 465 but as next week's game is only listing on channel 433 it is showing that channel as recording.

I hope it moves back to 465 when the EPG entry eventually appears.

I didn't realise that HDR Ultimate has a separate channel on the EPG to normal Ultimate. The game is showing on the BT Sport app as 4K HDR either so the EPG probably pulls the info through from there. It's definitely on ultimate though so it will be HDR

If it was HLG then I guess it could all be on 433 and then the hardware will switch as required.

But BT don't use HLG so their HDR channel has to be seperate and is on channel 465. It does NOT follow the 433 output and only carries the HDR stuff.

I don't know why it is not being updated in a timely manner for the Premier League - but then overall the BT EPG is not being updated in a timely manner at all it would seem.
