And I was responding about Physical media, not streamed content, thanks.
The initial point about Blue Planet was regarding the HLG version coming to iPlayer, not the Physical version. After being promised that our TV's will support HLG, the first time HLG is available, our TV's won't be getting the iPlayer update to view HLG content. A major disappointment for many here.
Whilst we 'could' buy the Bluray, assuming we already have a device to play it on, its an additional cost that should be unnecessary with a 4k HDR TV that is supposed to support HLG. I can't see BBC offering HLG content OTA so iPlayer is the most logical method of delivery.
Samsung's approach has been terrible - a TV that should have no issues with supporting the UHD and HLG iPlayer is not going to get it for reasons only known to Samsung. Its essentially confirmation that they have lied to us - saying the TV would support HLG and yet won't play HLG via iPlayer.
