In January, the BBC's head of digital media technology, Anthony Rose, said that the iPlayer would get high definition content later this year.
Today that's been confirmed.
Rose said that, "the new adaptive bitrate technology and speed diagnostics page help optimise the viewing experience, while the resizable window gives users flexibility to switch between different quality streams, hopefully leading to a more satisfying experience overall."
An exact launch date for the upgraded iPlayer service isn't specified, but we'll keep an eye out and let you know when it's ready.
