sky q looks worse than my iptv?

[userlee5267]

Just gone with sky they had a good offer on. Got there sky q package. Picture looks absolute crap. Loads better on my iptv providers channels. Even got the hd and uhd channels. And not one looks better than my iptv channels? Whys this?

Got the video settings on 2160p and tried 1080p. No different. It's like sd quality on most channels?

Sounds better on the sky box that's it really. But not massively ?

What tv are you using

One with scart cable in back

Try a better hdmi cable.

LG nano cell 70inch only bought last month. Looks mint on my fire stick in uhd.

It's not even seeing the sky box as in hdr

 

[userlee5267]

It's a 4k uhd tv. Latest model. When I use 4k Netflix and 4k programs it says hdr mode on 4k fire stick.

On sky q box it dont

Try swapping the lead to a different hdmi socket

It could be the HDMI ports on your TV some may not support 4k at a decent framerate, try one of the other HDMI.

There all the same I've checked that. Downloaded David Attenborough and that looks good in 4k. But it's funny it glitches a lot. It's fully downloaded from 5am this morning. Went to play it and it glitches a lot


But most hd channels still look way better on iptv. It's madness. I'm using the sky q hdmi cable. Might try another.

Still not switching to hdr like it said it should.

Ring Sky and ask them if you need a VPN

@userlee5267 it isn't a samsung tv by any chance? My old man has one and it's an absolute pile of ×××× I have an LG and the picture quality is far superior.

If it is then go into settings and turn off motion blur, that will stop your glitching

 

[userlee5267]

LG tv. Downloaded bbc player on it and that looks better than the hd channels on sky q

 

[Obi wan bissaka]

Thats a strange one, mine auto turns hdr on,

Have you turned your HDR picture mode on mate?

There must be a fault in the cabling.
What signal quality are you getting?

Took you 16 weeks to update E2iplayer with the help from 50000 members Same problems vpn

 

[userlee5267]

Mine always auto switches to hdr if it's available. Never used hdr mode as mentioned above. Will look but never used it. It just switches usually.

Does on ps5 and fire stick 4k. Never had to play around

Sky Q doesn't support hdr10 content. Shocking really from them

Long time since I had sky, but over the years and many different sources i have always found an external video processor with the box outputting source resolution and frame rate gave best picture quality. But worse than iptv that doesnt sound good but if you can set sky q to match source resolution and let the tv do the scaling it might help
