Talktalk TV hub iplayer UHD not working

[Anonymous]

Hello 

All

I wanted to ask has anyone got Iplayer UHD working on the TalkTalk TV hub 

Are TalkTalk aware of this ?

Is there any fix for this

Thanks

Hi

Also, just another question, if you search YouTube for UHD Videos, do these play ok?

As mentioned previously you have escalated for others without a TV model 

I will appreciate it very much if you can escalate as I am sure you will find out it is a problem with the TV hub as more customers are going to be describing the same issue

The BBC iplayer team are telling me to speak to TalkTalk

At least you can try to send to the escalations team at TalkTalk

Hi

I need to ask our Teams to look at this. They will require the make and model of TV so they can fully investigate.  they may have access to a number of TV models for testing to recreate the issue or may be able to research or in some cases email the manufacture for more information etc. 

I cannot escalate this further without this information.  You have reported this to BBC directly, and if there is a specific issue with the app itself, that is something they will need to address, we have no control over the App or it's compatibility with any devices.  Our Teams can look specifically at the TV HUB to see if there are any issue with that.

I have a Samsung mobile phone.  Some of the apps available via the play store may not be compatible with the phone.  That is not the responsibility of Samsung, but the makers of the app.

In the same scenario, we are responsible for looking after the TV HUB that we provide, but cannot be responsible for the behaviour of each individual app, this will always be the realm of the developers of that app.

Thanks

You have escalated this for other members that have had this issue on this forum without asking them for the TV model 

Yet you are not doing that for me 

Do not arrange a returns  bag

Hi

Then by all means, stop using the Hub. I can send a returns bag out for you to return this. Would you like me to arrange a returns bag for you.

Thanks

As mentioned previously this is not a problem with My TV 

Please escalate otherwise I will 

Stop using the TV hub

Hi

In order to feed this back to the Team for testing and research I will need the make & Model of TV.

Not all TV's will be compatible, and this may be an issue with the app itself.  If so, you have mentioned you have reported this to BBC.  If this is a possible issue with the TV Hub, our Teams can look into this, however without the TV make / Model I am unable to take this further.

Thanks

As mentioned previously this is a problem with the TV hub and not with My TV

I've seen others experiencing the same issue on the TalkTalk forums as well as other forums

I will appreciate it very much if you can send this to the appropriate team 

If not I will stop using the TV hub 

[Karl-TalkTalk]

Hi

Please give the make / model of TV or I cannot pass this to the team for investigation.

Thanks

Please forward this to the relevant team 

If it is working with the netgem box then why is it not working with the TV hub

It is not a problem with my TV

Thanks

[Karl-TalkTalk]

Hi

Please can you provide the make / Model number of your TV and I can feed this back to our devices teams.

Not all TV's will be compatible with the UHD function of some apps or players, and this will always be the responsibility of the respective broadcasters to implement any changes or updates to their apps.

We cannot guarantee that these apps will be fully compatible with all Makes / Models.

Thanks

TalkTalk will have to liaise with BBC and the manufacturer of the box for a fix

OK. I haven't got a TV Hub to test with myself I'm afraid. But I have just checked on my LG 4K Smart TV and the iPlayer is working just fine with UHD content on that. Let's wait for the support team now.

Iplayer settings is best quality

Tried enabling beta mode and without beta mode as well

No diffirence

[ferguson]

And what quality do you have iPlayer at within its own settings?

[Anonymous]

My Tv is cable of 

3840 X 2160 

[ferguson]

And what resolution is your TV capable of?

[Anonymous]

3840 X 2160 

tried all the refresh rates but no difference

[fr8ys]

Can you go into the box settings  and let us know what resolution the picture is set to please?

[Anonymous]

Yes I tried the netgem box

I played mamals program and it was is UHD 

My TV model is irrelevant because the TV hub is a newer box than the netgem box so if it is working in the old box why is it not in the TV hub. 

Clearly something is broken

Once customers Discover this they will stop using the TV hub as I am

Please get TalkTalk to fix this with the BBC
