Yes, 1280 x 720 is normal for iPlayer "HD" and they only include stereo sound even if the original broadcast had 5.1 sound. BBC channels broadcast in HD over DVB-T2 look much better, and sometimes have 5.1 sound which I use.
I play all this stuff on my TV, get_iplayer downloads play fine on my Humax HDR Fox T2 PVR. I find watching on a PC a poorer experience for either iPlayer HD downloads or DVB-T2 broadcasts (I can extract them from my PVR). -- Owen Smith <[email protected]> Cambridge, UK On 8 Mar 2015, at 13:04, Jim Lesurf <[email protected]> wrote: > Is 1280 x 720 the norm for the hdtv best-quality?
