On some devices, 大象传媒 iPlayer uses a technology called Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR). We've made improvements which mean that on devices that have ABR, if you听haven't听selected a video quality preference, it will automatically default to the Best Quality.听
Best Quality听simply means the best quality video that your internet connection can provide. If you have a data limit with your broadband package you may not want to watch in Best Quality. In this case you can change back to standard definition:
- On the connected TV app, go to听Settings > Video Quality, then choose Standard Definition
- On the 大象传媒 iPlayer website on computers and laptops, click on the settings cog in the playback bar and select Low or Medium
For those devices that don't have ABR, when you select the听HD听button to turn on HD, 大象传媒 iPlayer will save this setting and all your future playback will now be in HD. If you turn HD off then this setting will be saved.
