My experience with BBC UHD over the weekend has been fairly positive.

The picture quality is amazing and definitely an improvement on HD. You may not notice and first, but when you switch back to the HD channel, the players, the pitch and the background aren't as clear. I never had any issues when accessing the UHD feed either, I was able to access it straight away.

The negatives were the buffering video, audio kept going, but it is only a trial.
It's a shame the UHD feed is quite behind the live HD feed, but hopefully they will be able to reduce this time lag as they do more trials.

Overall things are looking good for UHD on the BBC. Just need to iron a few things out, which I'm sure they will do.
