I said platform / provider neutral. Considering all 4K content to date has been on Pay TV platforms only, I thought I was being clear what I was talking about.

I'm also not aware of a non-Pay TV platform that's available right now other that iPlayer that allows all licence fee payers the technical possibility of accessing 4K HLG content.

Yeah license payers who have the correct version of iPlayer, a fast enough connection and unlimited data.
And when BT did the football, for 4K you needed the correct version of TV STB and / or a fast enough connection and unlimited data.

I do no bidding of it's enemies.

I work for Virgin Media, who carry BBC content. I'm also a licence fee payer so am a direct customer of the BBC and appreciate what they do, how they do it and the technical challenges they're facing in creating a production workflow will allow more HDR content to be produced across the industry.
