February 23rd, 2026 - 3:33pmHas anybody else had issues with the 4K Blu-ray Disc of Dr. Who and the Daleks released back in 2022? After recently buying my first 4K player, I watched it last night for the first time on 4K. Everything was fine until the 40 minute mark when the picture started freezing for about a second or so, and then started up again. I rewound it a few seconds, and problem solved (it seems). Looking online, it appears likely that this is a layer change.
However… The Dalekmania documentary is freezing continuously as is the original trailer and the interview with Gareth Owen. The other special features appear to be fine.
I have the steelbook and the limited edition set, so of course the first thing I did was try the other copy of the 4K disc, and it has the same issues with struggling to play the special features, in exactly the same places. Is this a disc problem? I should also mention that the discs are absolutely spotless, I would even go as far as to say they are in mint condition.
I should mention that the standard Blu-ray Disc works fine. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

February 23rd, 2026 - 3:53pmHave you checked for any firmware updates for your 4K player? Although new there might have been one since manufacture.
If it connects to the internet there should be a firmware update option in the system settings.

February 23rd, 2026 - 8:45pmYep, my 4K player has the most recent firmware update, so definitely not that. Frustrating thing is, it plays DVDs and Blu-rays fine, but 4K seems to be problematic.
Disappointing as I know that 4K discs are notoriously faulty but I didn’t expect to encounter problems the first time properly watching one.
Also, my Daleks’ Invasion Earth 4K disc has exactly the same problem! Dalekmania freezes every 4-5 seconds even though the audio is unaffected.
This surely has to be a wide spread problem?
