Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD
First line 'droids, sadly using boiler-plate template replies. Likely out-sourced to C(r)apita like Reception Advice was. Reply stating it doesn't answer the question. Re-word your question, perhaps, to be more explicit. e.g. "My TV fully supports UHD streaming of BBC iPlayer but... " Have...- Rodders53

Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD
Same TV make and model as the OP, or different? Check if changing any UHD colour space options on your TV while watching iPlayer The English fixes it and if that setting is also good for Frozen Planet and other UHD progs? No harm in contacting iPlayer with your findings (and details of your...- Rodders53

Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD
:thumbsup_: Great! Native (to the pictures received) or Auto should have displayed with correct colour space one would have hoped. But thankfully you've found a solution that works for you.

Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD
Hmmm... that means IMHO the Samsung is playing silly beggars with the stream then and not auto changing to the correct colour space?? Have you checked for firmware updates on the TV? Does the 'Picture Clarity' work when in iPlayer on your TV (known issue for your model, link above)? Can you...- Rodders53

Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD
If your broadband speed was really 10 Mbit/s you'd not be getting the UHD stream at all... For normal iPlayer Are you still on ADSL? Or Fibre to the cabinet?

Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD
On the Hisense I got to mine via the <Menu> button then <Settings Cog> which only offered the presets as far as I could see. But it was brief. I seem to remember it was different options on a Netflix programme with Dolby Vision; but could be mistaken. My Panny TV also has separate 'per input'...- Rodders53

Over-saturation on iPlayer UHD
I only did a little over 26 years in the broadcast industry taking redundancy early retirement in late 2006. So I am also well out of date on a detailed technical level as well. I say to check picture settings while watching a UHD source 'cos some options only come up when the source suits...- Rodders53

Foxsat-HDR - New/Updated Package Download
You need to tune to LCN 999 the Freesat Information channel and check/report back the Signal/Quality numbers. I suspect your dish is slightly off alignment and/or obscured by something (foliage).

No audio from non-HD Freesat channels
For the Foxsat-HDR Dolby Digital = ON means bitsteam out for HD channels (and PCM stereo for SD). Dolby Digital = OFF means the -HDR downmixes Dolby from HD channels into stereo PCM and that is output. As the -HDR is connected to an AVR you will want the Dolby ON for the HD channels that...- Rodders53

Problem with Doctors on BBC1
