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

That is correct the iPlayer app on My Tv will not play uhd because iPlayer uhd update has not got the update rolled out yet on this model
The TV is 4K / UHD
but this is nothing new there are lots of other customers with other branded TVs that have inbuilt iPlayer that does not play UHD
I read somewhere that the BBC iPlayer team released a press release that to watch iPlayer UHD If certain TVs have not received the update is to use a separate certified box
We know the Netgem box works (iPlayer UHD) but not the TV hub
The TV Hub recognises 4K / UHD and plays YouTube 4K
All TalkTalk have to do is do a rollout of a software update to fix this and it will help so many people
Thanks

Hi
Can I just clarify something you mention earlier, the BBC Iplayer App on the TV itself will not play UHD Content directly ?
Thanks
Karl.

This is not a TV problem it is a problem with the TalkTalk TV hub that could be resolved by a software update

Take the TV back to the shop and explain how it's not working?
Tuesday
This is not a TV problem
The TV was bought from a UK shop
Tuesday
Was the TV perhaps sourced outside the UK and/or is otherwise not compliant with UK standards?
Tuesday
THE TV IS 4K and has a 4k port
ALSO THERE IS A 4K SETTING IN THE TV MENU FOR 4K
THIS IS A PROBLEM with the TalkTalk TV hub not with MY TV
AS OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS I AM
You are saying this is a verified box for iPlayer UHD TO WORK but the iPlayer Team are saying different
TalkTalk need to communicate with the developers / Manufacturers AND the iPlayer team to fix this
It makes no sense when something works in an old box which is the netgem box to break it when bringing out a new box the TV hub
Tuesday
Being 4k compatible does not mean your TV is actually a 4k TV just that it will display 4k content, but not necessarily at 4k resolution.
Given the native iPlayer does not output UHD to the TV suggests that the TV is not 4k UHD compliant, therefore the Hub will not play UHD content.
You can resolve this once and for all by supplying the TV model so that this can either be confirmed as not being a 4K TV or resulting in further investigations to solve the issue if it is a 4K one.
Thank you.

Yes it is a smart TV and outputs 4K / UHD but does not play iPlayer UHD
I have seen people experiencing the same problems with the TalkTalk TV hub as me where The TV is 4K compatible and TV Hub outputs 4K /UHD and 4K / UHD works but iPlayer UHD does not
Tuesday
Can you confirm you Panasonic is a smart TV?
Does you Panasonic's native iPlayer play UHD material?
Tuesday
I am providing information as requested but you do not need My TV model
This is a problem with The TV hub not with MY TV
Tuesday
Hey, really, you want to know why I was asked for my boxes Google ID?
It is not relevant to your thread and I CAN'T not won't tell you as I've signed an NDA, unlike you who won't supply information requested to further your issue.
I was just trying to see if this would be helpful in clarifying what may have been meant by the Google ID.

It is a Panasonic TV that is all I am saying
Please tell this to the team dealing with this
Thanks

Hi
no one is trying to blame your TV, but without all the facts, an investigation cannot be completed.
Thanks

I HAVE explained before so many times
I am not providing My TV model number because IT IS NOT A TV problem
Send this to the team dealing with this
Thanks
Tuesday
Hi
They have specifically requested the make and model of the device the TV Box is connected to.
As mentioned previously, without this information, then they cannot investigate further.
Thanks

That is not true
I have seen people using the netgem box and the tv hub on 4K TVs that are not certified and iPlayer UHD works
Tuesday
below is requested information
Current Iplayer Version.
Application Version: 32.13.13.0
Are you using the supplied HDMI Cable or your own ?
yes, i am using the supplied cable as well as tried different others
If it was a cable problem the TV hub would not be outputing 4k / UHD
Make and Model of the TV or device the TV box is connected to.
I HAVE explained this before. This is not a problem with MY TV
google id from the bottom of the TV Hub
Thanks
Tuesday
Hi
The order was rejected by the system, not physically by an individual etc, so something I will have to get picked up. The manual request was processed by the Logistics teams.
Our Senior TV Product manger works closely with broadcasters so has confirmed that the box is fully certified.
They do not require the google ID at the moment, just the information from my last post.
Thanks
Karl.
