Sky, Astro,TNT, CANAL+, Ria 4k and probably more.
Most new TVs support it because it’s royalty free and has been around for nearly ten years.

So in theory I could watch most of that stuff directly on the TV within the apps!
It's not actually true 4k, although it looks sharp and bright?

The Rockchip cpu does beat the benchmark scores of the Tegra x1 but who is the device aimed at if it doesn’t support Dolby vision or Atmos and also what ever other codecs it may not support.
For some reason they don’t list any of the supported codecs.

I mean it will run iptv easily and will be decent for gaming emulation.
Me personally I think it’s expensive just for running iptv and gaming emulators as that is all it seems to be able to do.

I looked at a few American YouTube channels talking about the device and the comments made me laugh as some were saying they were ordering the 16gb version but that will be down to the fact that 16 is bigger that 8 lol.

BBC are showing wimbledonnow tv show euros English comm in UHD

They are all true 4k UHD HLG HDR channels that those platforms provide.

Yes. If iptv provider is sny good. Becareful some mark them up as UHD

I wonder why it’s not available in UHD on the iPlayer

My device tells me the correct resolution and colour format so I know if it is real.

The euros not sure it will be because of Wimbledon think they can only show one event in UHD they don't do many

I'm not sure that is true! Because true 4k looks different on my TV ! Not quite as colourful and is more detailed.
iPlayer are calling it HLG HDR and not using the 4k bit.
Sky and other services are falling back to this format because of price.
No service is actually using 4k for the Euros coverage, this is imo and what I have read on other forums.
But I won't argue the point as I got bit third hand.

I was under the assumption the euros was 1080 HDR this year.

Would probably be to expensive and they will more than likely show more nearing the end of the tournament.

It is for sure 1080.

 

[mike123]

It is for sure 1080.

Has your supplier got all the 4k Now sports. Just checked nowtv feed for tennis very different from BBC feed

 

[Toddy2]

Yeah tbh most stuff on the Shield for me is illegal or USA/ Canada apps,.I watch all the legal UK stuff on the LG TV now.
Thinking of getting SL hub so I can change zone on TV and watch all on TV

It must be because iPlayer Hlg HDR is not 4k bud

Not sure about your tv but the shield doesn’t support HLG HDR.
The Euros are being broadcast in 1080 but Sky are still using 4k on their other UHD channels as are other platforms.

You can try one of those sat boxes they are pretty good if you get a motorised dish you will get most stuff 3pm kick offs etc

I have but the only showing in 4k resolution without HLG HDR but Astro sports has Wimbledon in 4K with HLG HDR. As I am watching it now.

They do have 4k content just not the Euros. If you try planet Earth that is in 4K HLG HDR.

Not using the Shield for footie.
The iPlayer on Shield doesn't give the option of Hlg HDR, the LG C3 TV does, unsure if other devices offer it ATV fire etc.
I did read that sky were considering using that same format because of price !
