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

Ok, so I update my Roku+ and am getting HDR HLG - job done!
Haven't a clue about Websocket stuff but cannot see my Sky Box not getting HLG when they start to transmit

Look that way. I updated my Roku+ and with new 1239 firmware HLG works fine!

Thanks to @blenky I have the update. Before installing I did update the Roku+ software and as someone else reported, the HDR was then not engaged on Dynasties. It was back working though with this 1239.1 update so all good - it works!
Christ, it’s been a journey!

Updated mine this evening and tried Dynasties on iPlayer on my Virgin V6 box. This is what this TV was made for, the picture was stunning.
HLG HDR seems a waste for this programme though surely.

Got the USB disk from Samsung today. So hopefully those who also went down that route should be getting theirs soon as well.
