So, of the nigh on 400 TVs supported in BBC iplayer for the Blue Planet II  HLG episodes none are from Samsung. Oh joy. 

...

Moderator edit: Original thread title was "Blue Planet 2 HLG - No Samsung". With the OP's permission, the title was changed on 12/03/2018 to accurately reflect the dominant theme of the thread as it has progressed. If the reader would like to know more about the HLG format, please check out the BBC's page and FAQ's on it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/high-dynamic-range Thank you, AntS.

You need to swap to the iPlayer beta player first.  then the loop will work.

I have a Roku Plus and I can access the Southampton v West Brom loop.  I thought that was the UHD Trial?  Is there something else I'm missing here?  I'm in iPlayer Beta but all I get is the loop.

That is why it is so important to get every thing advertised about any product from any retailer recorded just in case. Also always buy using you credit card,  even if it is just the deposit. 


 

Yes this applies to many things. Always use a credit card. Also good for buying cars and holidays - if you use a CC for the deposit, you get the CC protection on the entire purchase cost.

I’ve just started my mis-selling claim with John Lewis.  Although I love the picture on my KS8000 I’m also hacked off with lack of support from Samsung.  I can’t see me buying another Samsung TV

Go back into normal mode and restart then click on try beta and planet earth 2 sample should show.

Yes, I am getting an error in the main iPlayer "02001"  - saying try again later.

 

Does this mean the Roku + cannot or will not receive the forthcoming World Cup Games ?  I have a KS9500 and would like to know what TV @dunwell has, if I may ask? as he's got his Roku + working to receive the UHD Trial

Did you see the option to see planet earth 2?

Have you tried a restart of the stick? That worked for my friend.

Yes, when in iPlayer Beta, I then go into settings and change to the main iPlayer and then press "Restart". I then get the option to select the UHD trial, but the error comes up
