4K Ultra HD delivers four times the detail of standard HD — and once you've watched Premier League football or F1 in 4K, it's impossible to go back. Sky charges extra for 4K (requiring the Sky Glass or Sky Q 4K box), but with IPTV, 4K channels are included as standard at no extra cost.

What Do I Need to Watch 4K IPTV?
To get the full 4K Ultra HD experience, you need three things:
