iPlayer on the website has region options including all the English regions plus nation options including England, Wales, NI & Scotland.
iPlayer on connected devices now only shows Wales, NI & Scotland in the nations menu.
You are “supposed” to select your correct region at this point. Previously, you may have selected the pan-England feed as that provided the generic BBC One HD with the red screen. The regional feeds are now in HD though, so are a direct replacement for broadcast regional feeds.

From memory, on the connected TV app for example, if you go into BBC One and watch live you'll get your regional version but if there's a link for e.g. Breakfast on the front page of iPlayer, it will take you to the stream with the HD red screen.

Watching the News at Ten on iPlayer catch-up last night, I was surprised to see the HD red screen of death pop up at the end, just before the playback stopped. I thought the 'generic' BBC One HD feed was no longer visible on any platform, replaced by the regional versions, so it's a little surprising that the RSOD seemingly still exists, playing out to nobody. But presumably this is where iPlayer is clipping shows like the news from?

As BBC One HD Nightlight exists in base band HD at coder input (as do all the other services on DSAT 2 TXp47)
Perhaps ...... it seems obvious to take a feed from that point for all BBC UK wide services to Iplayer

Is BBC One HD Nightlight on satellite? I’ve only seen it on 27.5w, is that what you mean.

Last weekend I was watching Doctor Who using the iPlayer on Sky. As you start watching it automatically downloads the next episode in the expectation that you are going to binge watch.
However, it sometimes randomly selects the BSL version and I have no idea why it does that, there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. They are not labelled as such in the programme description.
Any ideas?

Surprised they couldn't get this out there a few weeks ago when the film first came out.

On the BBC /IPlayer

Looks like they've put Pride and Prejudice up too, but rather disapointingly not the HD remaster, just the 16:9 cropped version of the original 4:3/14:9 SD master that's been circulating since the mid-00s.
