Skysports UHD channels on my TV today

I posted this elsewhere and it might help if anyone needs to understand the differences:

@Anonymous You suggested that EETV customers will only get it on Apple TV devices recently. It looks as though that might be right.

Now website now gives this information

The main thing I am thinking is about whether whilst my account is 'Managed by EE' whether I can pay for the UltraBoost addon, can that be facilitated...?

I had AppleTV 4K's which I always had before EETV Pro so if its supported there then I wouldnt be upset, ideally would like them to be there on the EPG so I can record though....but i'd take app only.

There's nothing stopping EETV from putting them on the EPG, its a multicast bandwidth consideration but not a hardware one.

Ive been complaining about the lack of UHD on NowTV Sports since I can remember, i'm sick of myself so even if its just app based id take that.

@zulu17 looks good, but as it stands no way to upgrade if EE manage your account 😞

No you can’t pay for ultra boost if your account is managed by ee

[naylor2006]

The problem the way I see it is that the HD/Ultra HD 6 quid we pay EE now includes TNT Sports Ultimate and NowTV Boost together, so BT/EE need to figure out a billing change/methodology that allows for a new product to be sold.

So I wont hold my breath that happening quickly.

I wonder if I cancel my 6 quid thing will it allow me to add on boost from Now directly, however then I lose TNT Sports Ultimate.

Does anyone want to suffer calling up and asking? 😂

Surely @DarrenDev can move some trees for us?

Darren has confirmed on the ee forum that it’s not available.

Further to my earlier post (as I can't edit it anymore) rebooting the Apple TV fixed it on that device so if anyone who isn't subbed via BT/EE is having issues give that a go.

[naylor2006]

Oh yeah, I imagine its not available now but will it ever be?

This is just a billing thing and a way of EETV opening up the door for us to purchase the new addon, the more I think about it the less I think it will happen for us.
