Your think sky people used to watching 4k for a long time but can't watch the world cup, will care?

Remind me again, why does an iPlayer trial mean they can't provide the streams to Virgin and sky as well?

The BBC really doesn't need friends like this.
For me, the only negatives were the sound dropping and time lag...think it was nearly 90secs behind the HD channel.

These negatives are obviously impacted more because we are watching live sport, but I'm sure they will be ironed out.

The picture quality was great, my tv went straight into HLG mode, couldn't fault that at all. There is a vast improvement in quality over the HD pictures.

If the Planet Earth 2 demo shows what they can do, I'm looking forward to non-live UHD content via the iPlayer which doesn't have the same technological constraints. It will be out of this world.
