Hello, I found this thread when I googled "IPlayer resolution" and I see it was started a while back but is still active so I'll reply with my experiences (I haven't read the full thread). Today I saw a clip on YT from the bbc nature doc Dynasties. It is a beautiful clip, Attenborough narrating, 4k, all very nice
I decided I might check out the full show on Iplayer, maybe try to download something for my dad since he loves this type of stuff and idk if he has seen this one. All good so far, but I'm really bemused by the quality of the Iplayer presentation. Apparently on the Iplayer app I'm watching it in "Highest" quality, but tbh it looks like 480p, that's not an exaggeration. This is quite bizarre, and needless to say very disappointing.
