Frederick Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 It seems the Apple ipad and iphone users are catered for here now . I am looking forward to watching BBCi Player downloads on my next trip over If its possible to get my hands on my wifes ipad . . Anybody know when the expected BBC app for Android tablets and smart phones is likely to come into service thus avoiding a mid channel domestic ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2012/mobile-iplayer.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefluvvie Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Filmon is just great - I use it all over the world.Or...another alternative for viewing BBC iPlayer and ITV Player, 4 On Demand, Sky Go etc via your PC or Smart TV outside the UK - is to use the Smart DNS service from overplay.net (about £3 a month). Requires a simple DNS number change - no software downloads!Chiefluvvie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks for the link guys . But what I want to do is use an Android tablet with stuff from BBCiplayer downloaded for viewing where there is no internet access . They have set it up for Apple Ipads ... They say the same service is coming for Android "soon " How long is soon ? The BBC has released a new version of its iPlayerapp for the iPhone and iPad, which enables downloading ofprogrammes to these devices for offline viewing.It has been a problem for some time: you can only stream iPlayeron Apple's devices, so if you lose 3Gsignal or are sitting on a plane, it's as good as useless. Theupdate today addresses this and allows programmes to be kept foroffline viewing for up to 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yes it is possible. I do this on my Galaxy Tab 2 running Jelly Bean and it works OK, I don't know why BBC are so coy about this.You need a couple of things, mainly the flashplayer apk which you have to load sideways.Instructions HERETo use it, you must use 'Inernet' as your browser (not Chrome) and then when you're on the BBC website you have to select 'Request Desktop Site' from the tools pulldown. I've never tried ITV or 4oD but I'm told it works there tooGood luck [geek] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
