The BBC recommends an internet connection with a minimum speed of 40Mbps for the full-fat 4K experience of 3840 pixels at 50 frames per second. If a TV supports those, it works." What internet speed do you need for 4K iPlayer? In terms of televisions, we don’t have anything specific in iPlayer, it simply relies on HbbTV and DVB underlying standards… those standards include DVB-DASH, it’s nothing BBC-specific. The television is responsible for the decoding, for receiving the segments, and for picking the right ones according to the bitrate for the network. All iPlayer does is play back the video object it’s given to play. Phil Layton, head of broadcast and connected systems in BBC’s R&D, told What Hi-Fi?: “iPlayer needed very little modification to do UHD. Head over to the BBC website for the latest list of 4K iPlayer compatible devices (opens in new tab). TV brands that support 4K on iPlayer now include Hisense, LG, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung and Sony, while you can also watch on the Amazon Fire TV 4K Stick, the Roku Streaming Stick+ and the Virgin TV V6 box. The BBC has being doing its level best to increase the number of supported TVs, streamers and other devices with every new trial.
It's clear, and the BBC has said as much, that the home of 4K BBC content will be on iPlayer. The BBC also worked with Sky in the broadcasting of the 2018 Royal Wedding in 4K. Following these trials, the BBC has live streamed the 2019 FA Cup Final, a rugby fixture, the 2018 Wimbledon tennis championships and the FIFA 2018 World Cup on its iPlayer platform.
