We are now into the final stretches of the World Cup, and I was wondering about member's experiences of the 'Consumer Trial' from the BBC through the iPlayer Beta which brings you live streaming in up to 2160p50/4K and in HDR. Of course this is only available to capable TVs (not via tablet or PC) and some limited STBs paired with capable TVs. You can find out more at https://advanced-television.com/2018/05/31/bbc-live-uhd-vr-world-cup-trials/ as well as more technical detail on the BBC R&D pages at https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2018-05-uhd_hdr_world_cup_2018.


The service delivery is for very specific capable devices and has some fairly demanding requirements on your broadband (you need to have up to 40Mbps all the way to your TV), but I would certainly be interested in your experiences as members of this TPN, including as much detail as you can about your specific TV and devices, even down to the configuration setup of your TV picture. Now with the England game against Sweden on Saturday, you have no excuse but to give it a go.


There is also access to Wimbledon Centre Court in UHD/HDR through the same setup, and would certainly like to hear of your experiences there as well (so no excuses that you don't like football).


I look forward to seeing what you have thought about the service.
