Re: UHD on Virgin Media
It isn't being transmitted on any platform - not even VirginMedia.

iPlayer is a streaming service using your Internet which some Smart TV's and some connected products (like the V6 TiVo and the Roku+ stick) can access.

Sky doesn't have a streaming iPlayer service at all and does not currently support HDR - so is a non-starter.

It also requires a steady internet stream of approaching 40Mpbs - which rules out a lot of others.

HLG is a version of HDR which can be used on live events which also does not require different versions for different devices if they are not HDR.

I mean, if you think it's so great, why on earth don't you want as many people as possible to view it?
