“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.
Comments?
Amazon fire stick sorted my parents’ tv out when the built-in apps became unsupported. Could be a relatively cheap option with back friday around the corner…
This is why Android TV, supposedly. But then the ROM is closed source, stops getting updates after a few years, the bootloader is locked, and GPlay has minimum target SDKs anyway. So it doesn’t at all solve the problem.
