Channel Issues & Questions

[Hobbsy14]

Hi,

Anyone else experiencing issues playing BBC iPlayer UHD content on the Streambar? All other services (Prime, Netflix, Disney+) seem to recognise and play in UHD but BBC iPlayer doesn't give this option. My Roku Streaming stick doesn't have this issues and works perfectly. Maybe a software issue?

Hi. I'm having exactly the same problem. 

All seems to work well on 4K but BBC is definitely not playing it. 

Anyone can help? Thanks

Same. It’s a different build to what’s on my Hisense Roku TV

Thanks for the post.

For more information about that channel's features and functionality, you'll want to contact BBC iPlayer support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves.

Thanks,
Danny

Hmmmm interesting. A quick google shows the following: The spec sheet has HLG HDR, but there is currently an issue with its implementation and both Roku and BBC are working on a fix as soon as possible.
