[awesometeeth]

Bizarre to watch you making stuff up. I thought you were going?

Your very angry, more replies...

All this for wanting 4k channels to be transmitted using existing platforms, how insane :-D

Angry and making stuff up? hahaha...now I know you are messing about.

Again, with a V6 + 100mbs + 4K tv, you'll be able to watch the 4K HLG feed on the iplayer without worrying about anyone else on the internet.

The only small issue I have with the iPlayer, is the time-lag, but the picture is crystal clear.

4K channels will probably come, but with new technology being tested, it's not going to be anytime soon I wouldn't have thought.

No anger there at all.... lol

[awesometeeth]

Upto 100mb and don't whatever you do go look at threads about poor speeds and local congestion or your little head will implode :-D

Your spending all this time angrily telling me it's my connection when you ignore that I've told you my TV has 100mb and it's still fluctuating :-D

We have had two 4k red button channels recently :O

See, these angry kittens don't live in the same world...

Show how unangrry you are by posting again telling me I'm wrong....

All this for suggesting we should be getting our 4k live content via existing platforms, bizarre.

Calm down, take a chill pill.

The 2 red buttons did not broadcast 4K in HLG....
I'm all for 4k channels, but only when the technology allows it to.

Your TV may have 100mb and fluctuation, but that won't stop you from accessing the 4K feed on the iPlayer...or did you mean you can access it, but the buffering problems made it painful?

Thanks for helping me to 1,000 posts lol

Could everyone please refrain from resorting to winding each other up. Stay on topic or take a break from the thread, no need to start being rude.

The quality of this picture is lower, without question. Shimmering lines and grass ...

The first week was much bette but buffered.

I'm going to guess they are using faster encoding settings

Edit: I'm talking about the lines on the other side of the camera position and the grass there.

The past few days I don't get the buffer on the iplayer the games run OK but as the quality I think it looks better in HD my 4k tv is 2 months old and is encluded in the list of compatable tvs to get uhd

This is the second time that I've tried the UHD feed from the iplayer for the Argentina game, and the PQ is better in HD, than it is in UHD!

No idea, Den, my TV is a 4K UHD capable set and can also show HLG, so I'm at odds as to why the PQ isn't as it should be after all the hype about it.

VM V6 customers will get the best offering with 4K/HDR via the iPlayer and every match which is on centre court

The Beeb have a few issues go irion out, then!

Thank God it's just a trial.

[awesometeeth]

That's the thing though, it's not a trial as such like we might think.

The issues inherent in going outside a closed controlled system aren't going away and the reason they capped the connections is because they were concerned the UK network structure couldn't cope otherwise.

The thing is, I think 4k take up is going to be a lot faster than UK broadband speed increase, and even then you're still going to have issues with local congestion on the last mile and potential issues in the home.

Now I get that is a good cover for the BBC as it's platform neutral, but this surely can't be the intention for the BBC to only use the iPlayer for 4k?

Edit: picture was good but has several buffers and stops so went back to HD

I get it, you don't like people having a view you don't agree with.

Sure, go off and do something else, thanks for you time.

My connection btw is giving me 100mb to the TV so...

And yeah, you don't think using the internet while trying to stream a 4k feed might cause issues?

Bizarre.

Edit: and part of the reason it's a trial is because they don't think the UK network could cope without limiting it. Does that sound like a better system than using cable or satellite....

The other day we were streaming a game in 4k From the V6, watching the other game on iPlayer on a phone while another phone was on YouTube watching a 30 minute video at 1080p on the 350Mb broadband without a problem.

Only required 350mb, that's great news!

You said -

"And yeah, you don't think using the internet while trying to stream a 4k feed might cause issues?"

Simply pointing out it was fine for me.
