“On 11th November BBC iPlayer will no longer be available directly on this device.”

OK, so, I didn’t purchase this particular (Blaupunkt) TV, but as it’s my mother’s then, well, I’m the one that has to “fix” this.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

I see the BBC website has some links to review sites, but I thought this might be another place to ask for - preferably open source - devices that could be used.

    I have iPlayer on my Nvidia shield, although I imagine it’s available for all Android TV boxes.

    I’d avoid the no-name Chinese devices though. A shocking amount of them have straight up spyware on them, yet are still sold on Amazon.

    Bonus tip: install ProjectIvy launcher to get rid of home screen ads.
