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.
Exactly my point, BBC should have trial led this before hand. Plenty of content they could have used if they wanted to.

Drop-outs, buffering just isn't acceptable.

Defending them is crazy, if they had to be commercial they would have gone under years ago.

If they have to make things available to all how come they chose to do it via a method that relies on a very high BB speed - hardly inclusive is it.
