If you have a 4K TV and load the iplayer app on your TV or Smart box it will ask you if you want to try the 4K trial.
Its only a few minutes long but shows Planet Earth II. My jaw hit the floor, looks absolutely stunning and far better than any other 4K material I have seen so far. Well worth a look.

Yes, but apparently the HLG part of it only works on certain (Panasonic) tellies. I checked it out on the iPlayer app on my VM V6, and it didn't say it was in HDR, but it looked pretty spectacular anyway.

I've also got a Samsung, it's a bit worrying that they only say they 'could' update with HLG, not that they will.
Also got the problem that my Yamaha AV amp has not been mentioned as being updated to pass-through HLG. It got a firmware update to HDMI2.0a, which gave HDR pass-through, not sure if they'll update it again to 2.0b...
