During Euro 2020 the BBC have been offering the footie in UHD via the red
button which is nice. Only thing is it’s about a minute behind the normal
HD channel.

It doesn’t matter much but if I’m watching England and we score I’ll
probably hear my neighbors celebrating before I see it go in.

If it is so important then listen on a good pair of headphones.

Well, you have nothing to worry about - the chances of England scoring a
goal is zero.

On the other hand of course if live coverage of the end of the world was on
this channel you would never actually see it.

Offering where? Are you talking about Freeview, Freesat, or the online
version? On Freeview 'BBC Red Button Help' page it saya "visit
bbc.co.uk/redbutton" but that doesn't exist. What sort of equipment is
needed to see UHD?

I have a 4k/HDR TV: an LG model CX.

On switching to a Euros match on FreeView BBC, an icon appears in the
top right hand corner advising that to see the programme in UHD on the
iPlayer, press Red. On switching, an HDR icon appears briefly in the
top right hand corner.

In the iPlayer settings you can choose between 24MBit/s 3840 pixels or
12 MBit/s 2560 pixels.

Ah, so it's the online version of the red button.
