"BBC iPlayer" Comes to 4th Generation Apple TV

bbc-iplayer

As the BBC announced earlier this year, it has ended up publishing its official application called iPlayer for Apple TVs. The application uses the standard TVOS interface, very similar to the one shown when browsing around the movies offered by the iTunes Store and the rest of the television program applications. The BBC iPlayer app is completely freeIt does, however, require us to have a subscription to its channel, so until now it will only be available to users of the satellite TV service in the UK. Perhaps it is only a matter of time before the system expands globally.

The application includes the complete BBC iPlayer catalog, as well as live broadcasting of the BBC, BBC 2, BBC 3, BBC 4 and the rest of the company's channels. In fact, the BBC takes its iPlayer service very seriously, to the extent that often includes exclusive content for your online visiting systemEspecially when the cancellation of the BBC's digital terrestrial television service in the United Kingdom begins in February 2016, televisions are adapting quickly and well to the new times.

Of course, the app includes full integration with Siri voice search, which was currently limited to only iTunes content in the UK. The Apple TV continues to show its potential little by little, and the good thing is that developers and producers are very interested in the possibilities offered by this little Apple device that comes loaded to the brim. The development of applications for Apple TV is being fast and well adapted, which increasingly indicates that Apple TV will end up becoming the most popular multimedia center in many homes, to the detriment of the alternatives offered by Android.

    I do not like to make negative comments, but the article is nefarious. Removing the structure, once the fact that generally the articles found here are copies of well-known websites, nor are the translations correct.
    "As announced at the beginning of the year": Announced at the end of October. You have dragged your own errors from the source that you do not quote.
    On the other hand, you do not need a subscription to your channel. As the original article says, "TV license" is required. Quote from Wikipedia: "In the United Kingdom and the Crown Dependencies, any household watching or recording live television transmissions as they are being broadcast (terrestrial, satellite, cable, or internet) is required to hold a television license." So I find it very difficult for this service to spread outside the UK. It is not strictly necessary anyway. With services like Unblock-us the app works perfectly.

    Finally, the application does not include integration with Siri. The article you don't quote says clearly: The app does not include Siri voice assistant integration, currently limited to content from the iTunes store in the UK.

    I recommend that you change your translator, because many sentences are barely understood and the forced "contributions" make it less understandable. But above all, cite the sources of the copy / paste.

    BBC iplayer does not go by satellite, it goes online, and it is free, it does not need a subscription, another thing is that in the UK you pay to have televisions, that is another issue.
