Just found out that NOW TV in the UK offers uhd and Dolby atmos as a (currently) no extra charge upgrade if you subscribe to boost. Tried and it seems to work ok so far. 👍

Boost is £6 and Ultra Boost is £9.
Your current charges will change when your existing contracted term ends, I’m currently on £2 a month until the 20th November.

Yes me too. I’ve noticed mine doesn’t work in uhd unless I change my default resolution to 4k hdr / Dolby vision - ie the match frame rate/ resolution option doesn’t seem to work. Additionally I have a 4k tv that doesn’t have hdr - and that doesn’t seem to work with uhd - seems it needs both 4k and hdr to show a 4k picture. Hopefully this changes as most other 4k streaming apps will work without hdr being selected.
 
Match Dynamic Range working fine here, I’m set to 4KSDR and I was getting 4KHDR on House of the Dragon.
Match Frame Rate you’ll only ever get an output of 50Hz.

I’ll have a tinker. I’m on the beta tvos18 so it might be that.

Same with me. TV shows and movies are fine, but for live sport I have to set Dolby Vision and 4K on and then turn off match content and frame rate. I’m also hoping it’s just a beta issue as everything is way too bright with Dolby Vision permanently on 😂

Sometimes. I have to sometimes quit out of the now app and then try again. The now app is still relatively unstable for me.
 
Thanks I find it is click an episode on continue watch and instead of launching the Now app it launches the Apple TV app.
