The iPlayer is also one of the very few streaming services which handles 50/60hz content properly.

Isn't that what BritBox was supposed to be, a Hub for all PSB content or is this one going to be Strictly for free catch-up content. If so, I'm All 4 it, just as long as they have a rule that all content is available in HD. Why are the BBC the only ones giving HD content as standard on their catch-up? The picture quality on other PSB catch-up services is a disgrace and the applications themselves frequently crash or cut off parts of the programming to insert ads or have horrible interfaces.

*groan*

iPlayer is one of the few catch-up services which has given any thought to accessibility - you can toggle subtitles, and (were available) AD or sign language. I'm not sure I've even seen subtitles as an option in the rest.

All4 has subtitles, in fact on the Apple TV they even use colour coded subtitles like on broadcast. iPlayer does not support subtitles on Apple TV.

Is there 60Hz content on iPlayer now? If so what is it?

iPlayer on Apple TV always seems like a slight 'odd relation' to iPlayer on other platforms.
