BBC iPlayer app not working

If the BBC iPlayer app is not working it could be on a number of platforms with popular choices being iPad, Android, Smart TVs and FreeSat, but there’s hundreds more options available. When you head to the official website for the browser version, you can select from some quick links that deliver the most popular entertainment to watch, a TV Guide, a simple A-Z of programmes, and the ability to browse by channel like S4C, ALBA, CBeebies, CBBC, and the regular BBC One through to Four.

These services on multiple platforms are great, but if the BBC iPlayer servers go down and all apps stop streaming then you will miss watching the programmes you follow. This can sometimes happen at key times during live shows, or when you are relaxing during your TV time.

    iPlayer is a piece of sh*t. The Absurd TV always stutters and buffers, yet Netflix, Hulu, etc are fine. Sideloading the regular Android version onto Android TV doesn’t work, but, yet again, this is fine with Netflix, Hulu, etc.

    No wonder more and more people aren’t bothering to pay for their TV licence.

    I wanted to catch up with Doctor Who and Strictly Come Dancing, but BBC iPlayer isn’t working right now for me. I’m trying to stream on my iPad in Kent.
