Yeah mate but I’m on Foxtel. I’ve downloaded the Optus sport app, and it’s pish. I’m getting nothing but buffering and failed steam messages.

Depends almost entirely on TV size vs distance you sit from TV

Been on iplayer and the beta version - can’t see a UHD button.
If folk can’t see the difference between HD and UHD they should go to Specsavers.

Got a new tv the other week, mine was needing replaced and took up the sky offer they had do it’s an LG 43” thing
I have no idea what the best settings are so you’re probably right I’m probably getting no benefit out of it!

It’s pretty limited. A relatively small range of compatible TVs. No iPad or web browser support.

Only certain TVs are supported as well as a minimum bandwidth level. Finally, each game has a limit on viewers...

Have UHD on BBC through the Iplayer. As soon as it hit 12:30 clicked the App and it came up straight away watch world cup in UHD, Picture is fantastic.

As soon as I log into iPlayer and choose the game it came up with the options available. Streams perfectly on my tv.

The difference isn’t particularly significant, and the source plays a huge part in it. The variations in “4K” content is considerable, depending on provider. For example, satellite 4K is less compressed than streamed/internet based 4K, so the picture will be better.
The big change is HDR, which is closer to the difference between SD and HD

Are you using iplayer beta?

They (bbc) have put a limit on viewers. It is on a first come first served basis.

VPN on laptop, iplayer, hdmi connection to tv, sorted. Agreed though, useless Australian bassas.

Yeah mate but through the Optus box not the app. Runs a stream but currently on 100mbps so no issues.

And SBS really need to spring for a Co-commentator for Martin Tyler - listening to him drool on yesterday was brutal
Im loving watching it with British commetators though. Seems familiar.

Agree Australians commentators are wanks and will prob use iPlayer for a few games to save listening to them.

There is also a VR option when you stream via the PS4.

I've got the iPlayer app via my TV bud, and went in via there. I read somewhere the other week, that is the only way to do it.

Why is that? I thought it would be covered in every country.

As someone,else said, picture quality on UHD is fantastic, but the camera is way, too far,away.

I was thinking the same mate. I can see a clear difference between SD and HD and that's about it. Certainly not enough to splash out on a high end TV.

I adjusted the TV settings, and it worked a treat.

Only for certain TVs with something called HLG. I have the Sony Bravia 65” KD something with 4K HDR and it works.
Watched it through iPlayer Beta and you almost forget to watch the game because you can see someone eating a packet of sweets in the crowd. Fantastic but it was a wee bit dark for some reason.
I’ve got Fibre broadband and I think it’s needed.

They’ve sold the rights off to one company I believe. A real shite version of Sky if you will.
I thought so to. Couldn’t believe it to be honest. I mean it’s the fckin World Cup!!

I’m getting it through the iPlayer app on my TV.
When I click on the football it gives me the choice of UHD or HD.
