I certainly agree with you that the 4K content should be listed before the HD stuff, but you will always get variances on how these apps work. That won't change until such time as an industry standard is agreed.

As far as the i-Player is concerned, I doubt that this will be going south at all. They will throw resources into improving their site, because as confirmed in 'The Times' today....

'In the long term the Corporation sees iPlayer and its Sounds audio app as the main ways people will access BBC services, suggesting that conventional channels such as BBC One, BBC Two and Radio 4 will be marginalised'

By that, they mean 'before disappearing'! But then, we already know that, don't we?
