There we go, as expected, Blue Planet II on the BBC i-Player from next week!

Virgin Media missing from the list of compatible devices Sky Q is listed though

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

But not on a UHD channel because there simply is not enough content for it.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

No, as I said before, UHD on the Beeb will be on the i-Player. I think it will be a while before they have a dedicated UHD channel - a waste of bandwidth, in my opinion.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

There is a BBC Blog about it, but unfortunately where they talk about compatible TVs the link doesn't work

However as it's the same one for the UHD Trial, then I'd expect the the Virgin TV V6 box will be compatible.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

That's what I thought as well, Ben, but couldn't find any confirmation of this!

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Don't know if this is the page you were after Ben for the list https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help/l...-planet-II-uhd

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

My TVs not on the list Samsung KS9000, however i watched the trial of this via a V6 in the summer without any problems.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Don't get why V6 isn't on the list. I've reached out to VM on the issue and they replied they are 'asking' (the BBC I presume) about it.

Pretty shocking if we're left out!

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Well obviously the V6 isn't a TV, so it wouldn't be on the list, you still need a compatible TV to watch it even if the other equipment is capable of showing the broadcast.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Sky Q isn't a TV but that is on the list as it stands VM are not getting Blue Planet II in 4K/UHD

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Good point, but unless something has changed the list is very wrong.

A few months ago i watched Blue Planet using BBC iplayer on the V6 and with a TV that isn't on the list, so i am expecting it to work.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Apology accepted :sleep:

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

Have you heard any more on this, Ben? I've tweeted and asked on VM forums and the silence is pretty deafening from the staff there.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
 

VM have tweeted V6 customers won't be able to access this programme.
Pathetic TBH!
