How much space do downloads take up on a mobile or tablet?

大象传媒 iPlayer offers downloads in Standard and High Quality. High Quality downloads are larger and take longer to download.

As a guide, file sizes are:

High Quality (encoded at 1500kbps):

  • 30-minute programme:聽315MB
  • 60-minute programme:聽630MB

Standard Quality (encoded at 800kbps):

  • 30-minute programme:聽160MB
  • 60-minute programme:聽320MB

Standard Quality is the default setting for downloads on mobile devices. You can switch between Standard and High Quality downloads in Settings on the 大象传媒 iPlayer app.聽

Run out of storage space on your device?

To free up space you can either delete downloaded programmes in the Downloads section of the 大象传媒 iPlayer app, or you can delete apps and files elsewhere on your device, perhaps old apps that are no longer used, or files that are backed up elsewhere.
