After some tinkering things improved but a couple of points: bit rate is poor and I’m not sure if it’s even proper 2160p. There doesn’t appear to be any HDR on offer, I didn’t check the amp but certainly didn’t sound like broadcast atmos.

Any app through my Philips OLED is vastly superior. Netflix with Dolby vision is massively better, BBC I played is better, even Amazon prime with HDR10+ is better and UHD Blu-rays make the gap in picture quality laughable.

Will give it month mainly for the justice league Snyder cut next week but will likely cancel.
When watching a few movies on the Virgin Media UHD channel I thought it was poor then , and yes watching the new David Attenborough from BBC iplayer in HLG /HDR was fantastic
