Re: UHD on Virgin Media
There we go, as expected, Blue Planet II on the BBC i-Player from next week!

No, as I said before, UHD on the Beeb will be on the i-Player. I think it will be a while before they have a dedicated UHD channel - a waste of bandwidth, in my opinion.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
There is a BBC Blog about it, but unfortunately where they talk about compatible TVs the link doesn't work
http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2017-12...et-bbc-iplayer
However as it's the same one for the UHD Trial, then I'd expect the the Virgin TV V6 box will be compatible.

That's what I thought as well, Ben, but couldn't find any confirmation of this!

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
Don't get why V6 isn't on the list. I've reached out to VM on the issue and they replied they are 'asking' (the BBC I presume) about it.
Pretty shocking if we're left out!

Well obviously the V6 isn't a TV, so it wouldn't be on the list, you still need a compatible TV to watch it even if the other equipment is capable of showing the broadcast.

Good point, but unless something has changed the list is very wrong.
A few months ago i watched Blue Planet using BBC iplayer on the V6 and with a TV that isn't on the list, so i am expecting it to work.

Have you heard any more on this, Ben? I've tweeted and asked on VM forums and the silence is pretty deafening from the staff there.

Re: UHD on Virgin Media
VM have tweeted V6 customers won't be able to access this programme.
Pathetic TBH!
