The iPlayer app is still absolute dogshit on Apple TV. No UHD programs, no season selection, no subtitle support (which is insane for a supposed organisation that champions inclusivisty), still no redesigned app which launched on all other platforms I can think of over two years ago…

When I’ve got in touch with the BBC to complain about the lack of subtitling in the past they have just said “it’s too difficult” and panned me off, even though literally every other app including ‘BritBox’ which is partially owned by the BBC has them.

So I’m just wondering (especially with Doctor Who back on Saturday, and next year) if there is anything more I/we can be doing to get this sorted?

    Ask Apple nicely to provide support for DVB-DASH HLG HDR which is what iPlayer uses, unfortunately out of around 300 other devices that do support it the ATV4K is one of the few that don’t.
