I suspect the answer is "give it internet access and use iPlayer"
The internet may well staurate and lead to lots of buffering or failed streams due to all the millions of TV sets....

According to: https://rxtvinfo.com/2023/burley-lumley-for-sky-news-uhd-coronation-special/
it states "Ultra HD coverage will be available from 09:00-17:00 at no

I have a UHD TV that is capable of both Freesat and Freeview.
What are teh *exact* retuning details do I can access this free UHD

The only other way of getting it in UHD is either from BBC iPlayer or
from Sky's Youtube player...
I'd rather a feed through Freeview or Freesat in case theer are internet issues on the day or at least as a back up.

Yes... and then lots of UHD TV's then connect to the internet streaming
UHD content at 40 to 100 MB/s PER TV set.....
See where I am going with this?

If its on I Player in UHD, I wonder how many will actually have the speed to >get it?

S.Site says:
"If you have a Sky TV subscription, you’ll get UHD coverage with Sky Q, Sky Stream or Sky Glass. If you don’t, you can access UHD coverage through Sky News on the YouTube app on your smart UHD TV"
So only accessible via YouTube?
I don't initially see anything about a free channel on Freeview/Freesat or iPlayer.

Pretty sombre AIR, not everyone would be keen to watch.

Having never bothered to sit down and watch a UHD/HDR programme before,
I watched a couple of episodes of "The Gold" last night and
1) it suffered from several episodes of buffering, for comparison never
had that happen when watching 4K@60 youtube content on a decent laptop, though I presume iPlayer won't offer UHD/HDR to that same laptop?
2) someone should have told the actors that gold bars are incredibly heavy

Pretty sombre AIR, not everyone would be keen to watch.
And I would imagine the coronation will have higher viewing figures
than bags of air being kicked around by 22 men who like playing with
balls on a green screen.
If its on I Player in UHD, I wonder how many will actually have the
speed to get it? Are they going the whole hog and using Dolby Atmos
audio as well? Brian

By using get-iplayer people could fetch/watch UHD via first downloading the material as a file. If they have a slow connection, do it at night - when the fetching might be faster, but if not, still done by the time they want
to watch it

Yes I did start thinking of get-iplayer last night, since neither
iPlayer on the LG or chromecast can handle 4K streaming, and on a PC, 4K isn't allowed.

FWIW I normally fetch the quasi-HD versions. They aren't full HD but fairly similar. Here an hour's worth of programme takes about 3 - 5 mins to fetch. So I guess UHD 'live' might be practical. However our TV/display is
standard HD and we're happy enough with that.
Surprised that UHD isn't "allowed" on a "PC". Is that a 'doze deliberate limit? I use Linux so am unaware of how doze may limit.

the PC does need to be UHD capable to view UHD content so you'd be
looking at a 4k graphics card for a starter plus some additional
drivers.... and sufficient memory and CPU and probably a SSD instead of
a HDD.

Dual intel Xe/nvidia 3050 graphics
12th gen i7 CPU with 14 cores
32GB RAM
1TB NVMe SSD
Wired 2.5 Gbps ethernet
LG 4K@60Hz 10-bit HDR monitor via 40 Mbps thunderbolt4
I think it would be "unreasonable" to expect higher spec than that just
to watch telly!
Normally the display is set to 125% scaling for the sake of my eyes, but
I reset it to 100% for testing, in full-screen mode iPlayer used
1280x720p and looked pretty awful at arms length.
