I don't normally buy into the cables thing but I've read quite a lot about HDR 50fps/60fps and the specific need for 2.0 18Gpbs HDMI cables.

Just get a high speed hdmi cable for less than £10 as that is what i am using, if you know you're using a crappy HDMI cable that isn't marked as high speed. But you need to establish if you have the option to even view the UHD feed on the BBC iplayer Beta first before wasting your money on cable, to do this go to the settings in iplayer and change it to the Beta, then the UHD football feed should appear on the main page, if your TV is compatible.

Is there a way of loading up the Iplayer app quickly on the V6 without having to go in the menus all the time?

I've given up using iplayer for it as it has dropped the sound again and my TV upscales HD beautifully to 4K where i can't really see any difference on my screen size.
