elsiegee40 Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Just watched and totally amazed. Fantastic photography. I was going to put this in the cool things thread, but somehow I suspect it might provoke further comment! Sloths give a gentle start. Then komodo dragons and then marine iguanas and...
6Foot2 Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 I experimented with the HD feed vs standard feed while this was on. This was much better in HD. Now to make sure that HD is always available on Sunday at 8:00 - 9:00...
elsiegee40 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 We watched it in HD. Apparently it's filmed in UHD... we haven't got that but HD alone was stunning

rad Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 I watched this, was amazing. Definately going to watch again just to see the quality of the filming
arwen Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 This is one thing I have watched that has made me want a 4k TV. Absolutely stunning filming work. I really want to know how they got swimming with sloths and iguanas !
elsiegee40 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 You couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for that male sloth. So much effort only to get to the wrong girl!
JJonas Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 I remember watching the first series of Planet Earth, every week it showed me something in the natural world I had never seen before. Planet Earth 2 continues to do the same. I cant wait for next Sunday night.
Arthur Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 I experimented with the HD feed vs standard feed while this was on. This was much better in HD. HD is always better than SD by definition of there being more pixels?
6Foot2 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 HD is always better than SD by definition of there being more pixels? We have a large TV (60", possibly) but we do not always have the option to watch a program in HD. I am always trying to persuade Mrs P to try the HD feed but, often, she 'can't be bothered' Last night's Planet Earth 2 was an opportunity to showcase HD in an attempt to get it used more often, when available.
DrCheese Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Would love to see this in UHD (4K) - It's apparently been filmed that high so...

We always use the HD rather than the SD. The sound is so much better, never mind the picture. It's a bit of a pain when the local news comes on, but that's all.
HarryMonkey Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 I put this on our sky planner to record a few days ago as I knew i'd be out. I gets home and OH says, I put Planet Earth to record for you but it said it was recording twice so I had to delete one. Yep! She had cancelled the HD recording and recorded it in SD. Looks like I'll have to download it and give her yet another lesson in how to operate the sky planner!!

Looks like I'll have to download it and give her yet another lesson in how to operate the sky planner!! We use the Sky+ app to sort out recording. It's much easier than doing it on the box and you can flip through and see what's already setup quickly. Anyway, back on topic! Planet Earth 2 - not Sky recording!
6Foot2 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 ...Anyway, back on topic!.. This week it was 'Islands', next week it will be 'Mountains'
MatthewL Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 What time and channel was it on, I missed it.
6Foot2 Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 What time and channel was it on, I missed it. Islands will be repeated on BBC1 on Sunday at 4:15 pm. Mountains will be shown on BBC1 on Sunday at 8:00 pm (The regular slot for Planet Earth II) Link: BBC One - Planet Earth II - Episode guide
witch Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Loved it - not least because DA pronounced it Slow-th which is how I was taught
