Why was it rejected

According to the BBC iPlayer team this TalkTalk TV hub is not certified that is why iPlayer UHD is not working and showing UHD programs 

As you know the TV Hub outputs UHD and YouTube 4k works just not iPlayer UHD

The netgem box works with iPlayer UHD

Hi

 

Our TV product manager has requested the following information :

 

Current Iplayer Version.

Are you using the supplied HDMI Cable or your own ?

Make and Model of the TV or device the TV box is connected to.

 

Thanks  

Karl.

Hi

 

Sorry for the delay, the original order was rejected so I had to manually request that a box was sent out to you.  I'm showing that this was dispatched yesterday, so should arrive tomorrow.

 

With regards to investigation, we took this to our Senior TV product manager who has fully confirmed that our TV Box is fully certified by BBC to support their App.

 

BBC are a member of the YouView consortium alongside our selves and fully involved in initial testing for their App.  I've had it confirmed that the Iplayer App will not show on a device that has not been certified.

 

Thanks  

Karl.

As an aside, I've been asked to provide the Google ID for another purpose. The request read

 

Product/Google ID, you can find this on the bottom of your TV Hub it is a 16 digit number starting with 40

 

Maybe this is what the team were after rather than your Google login ID?

Hi

 

this is a box swap so you will not be charged for it.  It should come with a returns bag for the other box when it arrives.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I will relay this back to the devices Team.  They have also asked the box is swapped out just to rule out an individual fault with that box, so one is on the way.

 

Thanks  

Karl.

Have the TalkTalk team contacted the BBC Iplayer team because the BBC Iplayer team are still saying this box is not certified and does not work with Iplayer UHD

 

This is a problem with the TalkTalk TV Hub and not with compatibility issues with My TV 

As mentioned before it does not make sense that Youtube 4K and UHD works on the TalkTalk TV Hub as well as the box outputs 4K / UHD on the android level but then does not work on Iplayer UHD

 

The Netgem box works fine on  Iplayer UHD so why this got broken when the TalkTalk TV Hub got released is bizarre

Please send this to the TalkTalk devices team

Thanks

 

I am happy to provide any details about the box settings but you do not need My TV and model number 

Fixing this will be helping lots of customers on a large scale

Hi

 

Our devices Team are asking for the Make / Model of the TV or device you are connecting the box to, so they can further investigate.  You do not have to post this info publicly, but you can drop me a PM so this info is private.

 

Thanks

I got another email back from The BBC Iplayer team and they are saying the TV Hub is not support to play UHD content

Please pass this onto the TalkTalk devices team and ask them to clarify with the BBC Iplayer team 

Thanks

I did test the TV Hub on another TV and iplayer UHD did not work neither so this means something is not right on the TV Hub
