Working okay here, although using HDMI 3.  Shows as 3840x2160 10-bit.  Beware that currently experiencing some stuttering, as reported elsewhere on this forum, which appears to be the same problem reported when using the BT UHD box.  Hopefully Sony will find a quick fix,as it makes UHD unwatchable 😞

There hasn't been a new Sky Q firmware update since the Q002.000.56.00L version that first enabled 2160p output, unless one has been released to Sky staff?  AFAIK, it still needs a Sony firmware update to the TV to fix the juddering fault - see http://sony-eur-eu-en-web--eur.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/133958

 

My KD-65X8509C still judders with Sky Q Silver 2160p.
