BBC content on Apple TV2?

In the last-but-one update to Apple TV2, the BBC radio streams became available on the radio player.  For UK users, that was a plus, as otherwise we have very little UK-based content (no 'local' film rental, no TV streaming like iPlayer, 4OD etc.).
However, I have just updated my TV to OS 4.2.2. and although the channels still appear in the available radio stations list, I cannot access their content (I either get 'error loading' message or 'cannot access Internet Radio stations').  The commercial radio stations seem unaffected.
Does anyone have any idea as to whether there's an issue for Apple to connec to the BBC streams, or there is something in the update that now prevents this?  Are the BBC using dome DRM that is incompatible with Apple?
Jonathan

No, I am asking about the Radio function built into the Apple TV2.  Before the recent update, you could access the BBC radio streams in the Radio player, but after the recent update, they still appear in the list of channels, but cannot be listened to.
To listen to BBC radio on your computer, try:
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/
This works fine for me on my various Macs at home and the office.

  • BBC iPlayer via Apple TV2

    is it possible to view the BBC iPlayer (and other catch-up services), played from my iPhone, via Apple TV2 to be watched on my telly?
    many thanks,
    james.

    thanks for your reply.
    i don't want to add the iPlayer to Apple TV - just stream it from my iPhone/iPad (via AirPlay to ATV) so i can sit and watch it on my telly.
    maybe i need to wait for iOS5 - copy from website: 'AirPlay now supports video mirroring. Which means you can wirelessly — and securely — stream whatever’s on your iPad 2 to your HDTV via Apple TV'.
    it seems pretty obvious to me - but i've read and been confused by folk wanting the iPlayer actually 'on' their device.
    thanks again,
    james.

  • Is it possible to run BBC iPlayer from an iPhone4 through AirPlay to Apple TV2 please? I keep getting the message "An error occured loading this content. Please try again later"

    First, try a system reset on the iPod.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If that doesn't work, reset the Apple TV.  I'm not at mine right now and I'm talking from memory but the reset is somewhere in the Settings menu.

  • Apple TV2 throwing "An error occurred while loading this content"

    Hi
    I have purchased an Apple TV2 recently and tried to watch rental movies. Preview of all the movies working fine but after rental is consistently giving error "An error occurred while loading this content". I have 8Mbps line and can rent movies from my PC and also from iPad. But Apple TV is giving this error.It also gibe similar error while trying to watch video podcasts of bigger size. I have done the recent apple TV update but no luck. Frustrating. Any help from any one. I have now rentals on my Apple TV that can not viewed and going to expire in 3 weeks.
    Regards
    Anil

    are you renting these movies directly from the appleTV or are you renting/downloading from iTunes on a computer then streaming to appleTV?

  • How do I connect Apple TV2 to an older TV?

    Hi Apple Community
    I just bought 2 Apple TV2s, one for my family room and one for my bedroom. My family room TV is a late generation Sony WEGA (Trinitron/CRT) with a YPbPr (RGB RCA) port in the back of it. I knew that AppleTV2 did not have a component video connection, so I bought a cheap HDMI to component signal converter to connect to the YPbPr port.
    Well, when i connected everything up all I get are crazy lines on the screen (clearly there is a signal translation issue). In theory everything should have worked. I am sure this issue has come up for others in the community - is there an HDMI converter box that you would recommend that will work in this situation? I looked online and there seem to be half a dozen candidates, but I'd like to get an opinion from this forum. Any thoughts?
    Dude

    I'm not really willing to recommend any converters since most of them will run into an issue with HDCP which is included in iTunes content purchased and rented from the iTMS since component doesn't support HDCP. Any conversion device that circumvents such copy protection cannot be discussed in these forums under it's terms of Use.
    I have one thought about the converter you have purchased, check that your TV is YPbPr and not YCbCr.

    i don't have any experience with DLNA TV's but i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. streaming content to airport express remote speakers and TV2 works great. however, i have all my gear hardwired to my time capsule (except the airport express) so i'm not sure how well streaming e.g. HD movies to TV over wifi works.
    i have a Synology DiskStation 411j and am very happy with it.

  • How do I Play videos from external hard drive on Apple TV2?  Can I just move the iTunes Library to the External Hard Drive?

    I have several HD videos stored on an external hard drive and would like to bring them into iTunes and play them via iTunes on my Apple TV2, but I am not sure how to go about it.  I don't want to store the movies on my iMac hard drive because it would eat up to much space...so do I just move the iTunes Library to the external hard drive?  And, if so...will the Apple TV2 find the iTunes Library on the external hard drive?  Thanks for any help anyone can suggest.

    iTunes content on an external drive isn't a problem.
    The simplest method is to just move your library to an external drive.
    If you wanted to keep just movies on an external drive, that's a little more difficult. You'd need to put the movies where you want them to reside on the external drive and add drag and drop them onto iTunes while holding down the option key. Obviously any movies already in iTunes would need moving from their current location and removing from iTunes first.

  • Apple TV2 - rental system "needs improvement"

    Hi...I own an iPod Nano, an iPod Touch, two iPhones, an iPad, and two Apple TVs (one new#1, one old-the big first one) -- not to mention four Apple Towers and a laptop. Suffice it to say.. I support Apple; I love Apple. Go Apple!
    But the Apple TV2 leaves me a bit perplexed.
    First, let me say that I like the little black box and the interface on screen is much better especially since it doesn't default to other people's content all the time (that was annoying on the old one). Plus my playlists properly sync (again, didn't on the old one unless I replaced the whole playlist again and again) And so I do not miss the syncing on the new unit. Well done.
    But..about two weeks ago when I was doing some chores I thought I'll rent a movie and watch it while I folded laundry. So I picked one and rented it right on the AppleTV2 and it said, to my shock, it would take 6 hours to download!. (I have 30mbs download speeds). But given I rented it already "thanks for the money -see ya later" was of a splash of cold water. Imagine going to the video store, giving my money and then the kid behind the counter says "Thanks. Don't worry. I'll drop it off at your house at 2AM".
    About a week about I rented another movie for my iPhone. Thought I'd watch it alone. But my wife was drawing and wanted my company so I decided to move it to my AppleTv2. Wait..can't seem to do that. Won't accept it. I thought it had to do with it being SD for the iPod. A disclaimer about quality would have sufficed..but "nope" was what I had to live with.
    So I thought, 'to **** with it" and the next day rented it again but this time I was smart (or so I thought) - I rented it on my COMPUTER ahead of time in HD and had it ready in my Library.
    So I went upstairs, chose MY library which is authorized to play my music, TV shows and whatever else on MY AppleTV2 and after a long spinning wheel of consideration sat on the screen "This content is not authorized to play on this device" appeared which shut me down yet again.
    What? It's the same account. Same house. Same person. Same Visa card!
    Now..I'm a reasonable guy. I get that the only way that Apple got studios to sign on board was pretty tight security protocols and, quite frankly, unreasonable 48hour rental periods (what?!? does the data have to get back to Apple so they can rent it again?).
    But this nonsense of per-device rental makes me want to waste time peer-sharing my movies and convert them instead. It's less trouble (notice I said trouble - not less MONEY. Take note. It's the service guys. Apple-you know this better than most).
    As I said..I love Apple...but their rental experience spoils the movies.

    "You did make mention of rental limitations in your post."
    ????? Ya..I think I did..it's what started the post.
    "I don't see the use in pointing a finger."
    It's not about blame. It's targeting the source of the problem. If someone...well..let's say YOU...said to me "Your settings on your computer need to change to blah blah blah.." I wouldn't take it as blame as much as identifying the problem.
    If Apple products don't let me share between my computer and an Apple device and all evidence seems to point to a restriction on the device by Apple (for whatever reason) I don't think I should label it an Act of God and move on.
    I think I made it pretty clear from the get-go I'm an Apple FAN. A big one! And I've supported ($$$) my team in many ways.
    My disappointment stems from what appears to be a stranglehold on how I share my media on my devices use my account (one person). That's all.
    Imagine if, on the outset, iTunes would never let you use the same purchased music (when it was DRM) on your iPod and your iShuffle. How popular a decision would that have been?
    Well..now I want to share a DRM movie between my computer (with my account) and my AppleTV2 (with my account).
    If it helps to call it blame...okay I BLAME APPLE. But my choice in phrasing is more like a question:
    why is it doing this?
    Am I doing something wrong?
    This doesn't seem like it should work this way.
    If the answer is: ya..you're doing something wrong and here it is - great!
    If the answer is: ya..it's supposed to be like this but here's WHY and what you haven't considered IS blah blah blah blah --then okay!

  • Apple TV2 periodically stops playing audio

    Hi
    I have had an annoying problem with my Apple TV2 after upgrading to the latest firmware (6.0). When streaming video content from my MacMini Server (via ethernet) the Apple TV periodically stops playing the audio while the movie keeps playing without audio. I can solve the problem by pausing and then continuing the movie, which will bring back the audio.
    I have tried to restore and reinstall the firmware (6.0) via the Apple TV because I also had problems with the Apple TV stuttering when streaming content from my MacMini, but the reinstallation of firmware did not solved the issue.
    I don't know if this is somehow related to the issue, but after having updated to firmware 6.0 Netflix often ask me for my login credetials on the Apple TV. This is an issue that I also never experienced before upgrading the firmware.
    What to do now?
    Thanks...

    So it's been a few months since I saw this thread started, and I am still having the same issues as above with my Apple TV 3. I can go a day or two and at some point, all connections just seem to error out. HBO go, Netflix, me streaming from my ipad, etc.   thought they would have been addressed by now.
    I have to hard reboot (power plug only) in order for it to go back to normal.
    I know it's a hardware issue as I have an Apple TV 2 setup in another room and it never gives me an issue,
    The weird thing is, I have the exact same setup at my office as well.  An Apple TV 3 in the main conf. Area and an Apple TV 2 in our break area. Same issue - Apple TV 3 needs hard (pore Plug) reset every few days and the Apple TV 2 in the break room is rock solid for months.
    Both Apple TV 3 units are at most recent 6.1 software release.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Think I a just going to put my Apple TV 3's aside for a while and use the 2's until it gets worked out.

  • Can I make apple tv2 work on an HDTV with component connections using an HDMI to component converter?

    I bought an apple tv2 and hooked it up through an HDMI to component converter then to my HDTV as it does not have an HDMI connection. When I turned it on, I got the start up screen x3. Three of the start up screen all across the display. Is there any way to make it work? Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'd strat by restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds. It may however be the converter, compliant converters won't let you watch HDCP protected content and probably won't support scaling either.

  • Creating Playlist on Apple TV2

    I have smart playlists etc that I create on iTunes, but I would like to know if its possible to create ad-hoc playlists on the apple TV2 itself?
    My primary use of this is a bedroom TV, and like to queue up a few episodes to nod off too.
    I have a smart playlist for the season but that's several hours of content, and I don't want to create lots and lots of small playlist (nor does my wife) to use.
    Thanks,
    Daryl

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    There isn't anyway to manually enter URLs on the Apple TV which means the only trailers available are those you access through the standard interface.

    After applying update my apple tv2 will randomly go to a black screen that lasts for a few seconds. When it gets back to normal after a few seconds it acts like the video never stopped since its farther along in the timeline. This happens with all video content wether its from Netflix or streaming from my iTunes library

    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds. If that doesn't help try using another HDMI cable.

    ATV2 should browse shared iTunes libraries in the same network.
    Problem started when ATV only supports Apple home sharing.
    I agree it would be nice if it worked with these NAS based iTunes servers but it doesn't, so if that's a necessity you would be better off looking at a media player from someone else and not purchasing DRM protected incompatible content from iTunes.
    AppleTv 1 did not use home sharing and it didn't work with NAS itunes either.
    We really need an Apple branded NAS that could home share, either that or they need to license the technology to 3rd parties, but frankly I can't see either happening.
    Running a computer 24/7 is not ideal and one area where AppleTV1 was better in that you could store content on it's internal drive.

  • Apple tv2 jams itunes

    Hello, ever since I updated itunes to newest version it keeps jamming.
    I would start my apple tv2 and click movie library, music, or whatever to join home sharing and apple tv2 would just sit there loading, I would have to come back to the computer and click on itunes and have to force quit it and restart itunes, this would go on for a few attempts and finally will work, but very frustrating.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Or just wait for apple to come out with a fix?
    I left windows because of problems like these, things just not working, hope apple isn't going in this direction.
    Everything worked fine till I upgrade itunes about a month ago or so.
    thanks

    This has been an issue for some since the days of AppleTV 1 - I see it less often with AppleTV 2, but still occasionally have to restart it or iTunes or both.
    It's not necessarily straightforward and may be down to several factors not just the unit or itunes (eg network leases expiring, reassigned IP addreses), but both iTunes and AppleTV occasionally have problems re-establishing the connection after sleep - AppleTV seems to rememeber it was connected but then cannot access the library when it tries to refresh so no content appears or an error.
    Does your computer sleep and take some time to wake during which it seems unresponsive to AppleTV?

    Hello all, I bouhgt a TV serial using my apple tv2 and my Apple ID information: all good. But then I got an e-mail from Apple saying that an "unknown" user downloaded content using my apple ID. Nobody stoled anything. How do I get my particular apple TV2 to recognize my apple ID account so it knows it is me who is buying. Thank you so much.

    Dear AC,
    Thank you so, so much for this answer. I did go into my Apple ID account through iTunes store and associated my devices to my Apple ID account. I did this by working on my computers (a mac mini and a mac air) and my two devices (iPhone and iPad). Thus there is a statemente saying "4 devices are associated with this apple ID and can download your purchases from iTunes in the iCloud". So whenever I use them to purchase anything, iCloud knows it is me through my devices so I do not get no e-mail warming me my account might be being used by a stranger.
    So, how do I associate my apple Tv2 to my apple ID account? I went to its settings and could not find any way of doing it. Can you continue helpling me? Please.
    Thank you so so much
