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.

Handbrake conversions via Apple TV2

I was wondering when i convert video files using hand brake is it worth it to select the setting "Apple TV2" instead of the "Normal" setting? I convert video files to MP4 and drop the files into Itunes then watch them via Apple TV2. The files seem to be larger and take longer to convert. Is it worth the hassle? Thanks

I've tried the "Normal" setting, but the output quality is serious. Now i got another 1080P mac video converter software from Giveawayoftheday site, which works well fo Apple TV device.

Error message when streaming BBC iPlayer via iPad

I'm using ATV (v7.0.3) to view BBC iPlayer (v 4.5.0.64) content via an iPad Mini Retina 2 (IOS 8.1.3) so everything is up to date.
I can watch programmes directly on the iPad from BBC iPlayer either by streaming or downloading. Both work OK.
When I try to watch streamed content via Apple TV via Airplay, I get a message "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." Every time. If I mirror, the quality is very pixelated, juddery and keeps stopping, so is really unwatchable.
I can successfully download programmes to the iPad but when I watch via ATV, it just keeps stopping, showing the spinning disk. I have to go back and start it playing again. Sometimes it stops every few minutes, sometimes it will play for longer, but it is very frustrating.
We have watched TV programmes Airplayed from other apps, including Netflix app, with no problems. We watch Netflix and Youtube direct on ATV which works flawlessly.
We do use a VPN service (for BBC iPlayer and for Netflix) but that shouldn't really affect anything.
I can't understand why it plays perfectly on the iPad but not on ATV. Any ideas please? I see that this question has been addressed before but never adequately answered, and not in the last year.
Thanks.

Of course it will, using anything other than what is supplied by your ISP is going to introduce streaming issues

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.

TS2845 How to set airplay on ipad2 with tv via apple tv2

Hi i would like to understand how to use airplay for trasfering rented movie on Ipad 2 on to my television
Via appleTV 2?

Both need to be on the same network, you need to enable airplay on ATV (via settings). Then you tap the airplay icon on iPad, select ATV and it will stream.

BBC iPlayer not working on ipad 1 through ATV

I know this has been brought up before but I can't find a straight answer. I have an original iPad 1 with OS 5.1.1. I installed the UK version of BBC iPlayer (via the UK itunes store) and went out and bought a new AppleTV device. I installed the ATV and did the update, connected it correctly and tested I can AirPlay youtube etc. This all works.
I connect to the UK via a VPN to access UK content (using the iPlayer) and I can watch and stream live TV, radio etc on the iPad, no problem. When I try and airplay TV content (live or downlaoded) it comes up with an Error Message: Content could not be loaded at this time. Please try again later.
Can anyone shed any light on this? It seems wierd that the BBC radio portion of the iplayer works with Airplay. It's almost as the BBC video stream is not compatibale. Ive tried contacting the BBC iPlayer tech people but I got a generated reply saying "we're sorry you are experiencing missing downloaded content". Got that wrong.
thanks for any help. Cheers!

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

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.

It has to do with that particular app, contact the developer

Airplay mirroring is the name for seeing a Mac screen on a TV via AppleTV 2 or 3.
A modern Mac running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8+) is required - if not try AirParrot software.

Controlling the BBC iPlayer with the Apple Remote

I watch programmes on the BBc iPlayer on my TV sreen by connecting my MacBook to the television. I'd dearly love to control the MacBook using my Apple remote. but it's only applicable to iTunes,iPhoto and the DVD player.
Anyone out there with ideas about a workaround?

I have an iPad mini and a 2nd gen Apple tv -which works fine with Airplay--and whilst i can get BBC Iplayer and 4OD , it only works with audio for ITV player and Demand 5. What am I doing wrong

I have a new iPad mini and can successfully use airplay with my 2nd generation Apple tv . BBC Iplayer is fine --as is 4OD, but ITV player only works in audio format--and Demand 5 does not work at all. I am pretty sure both the latter are compatible--so what can i do to fix this and what am i currently doing wrong?

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?
