What's the model of your TV?
Thank you for your reply.

TV is Sony KD-49XG9005 which does support UHD - using the TV's built in iPlayer I can view the UHD demo (accessed through the iPlayer settings menu) and the 5 available UHD series which show 'UHD' next to the programme title - through the built in TV iPlayer the picture is superb.

The picture is still very good through the 360 box but I don't get the option to view the UHD demo via the settings menu and when I search UHD, whilst it brings up the 5 series 'UHD' is not detailed in the program title.

This is the same on my Apple TV 4K which the BBC have advised is not a supported device for their UHD iPlayer trial so I was curious if the 360 box was the same.

Is there a way of telling the format a programme is being broadcast in - e.g is there an Info button I am missing on the 360 remote control ?
