Can't BBC iPlayer to work on Sony Bravia TV

I have BT Infinity and use a Home Hub3.
I usually access the internet via (a) wired connection to Apple iMac running OS 10.6.8 and (b) by WiFi to a 4th Generation iPod Touch. These work without a problem - and I have no difficulty accessing BBC iPlayer.
I have recently set up a wired internet connection for my Sony Bravia TV (type KDL 32EX403 with latest software PKG4.117EUL-0108) using mains wire connection through devolo dLAN 500 WiFi homeplugs.
I can access the most of the internet services on the TV - the one exception is BBC iPlayer - when every time I try and connect I get the message 'A network error has occured' - and when I hit the Retry button the same mesage comes up.
Anyone got any idea how to fix this?
Cheers
Tim

Well, that's about a tenner from e.g. Cable Universe. It's just to test it you know, not permanent.
Can you change the DNS settings on the TV to use Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ?

  • 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?

  • I can't get bbc iplayer to work on my Nokia 5800

    I have downloaded the latest bbc iplayer on to my Nokia 5800, even though I manually connect to wifi, it always asks to connect to t-mobile? (iplayer only works over the internet). So therefore can't play anything. I have changed the settings many times, still no joy, there is either a bug in iplayer or the operating (phone) system?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    It won't work over mobile web, it has to be wifi.
    To force it to use Wifi, Try this..
    Go into in connectivity, destinations.
    Create a new container called "paid methods" or anything else..
    Re-organise your inetrnet connection methods, and move mobile web & wap into the paid methods folder.
    Also temporarily make these 2 connection methods, so they require authorisation and prompt for password.
    This way, there is no way mobile web and wap can start without your consent.
    Ensure that your default (ticked) container, contains only wifi connections.
    You should find now, that all internet connections go via Wifi only.
    This is the way I do it.
    I have to pay for mobile web and wap, so I move them in and out of my default container as and when I have no other alternative but to pay for it.

  • 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.

  • BBC iPlayer not working with v31.0

    I've seen a few questions similar to this so I know I'm not alone in this. When I'm trying to watch BBC iPlayer live stream, after no more than a minute or so - sometimes sooner than that - it will apparently start to buffer but will not continue. After a while it will throw up a "Content not available" error. If I restart from the beginning, it doesn't start from the point it should in the live broadcast, it starts from the point I initially started trying to watch and freezes at the same point, i.e., it is stuck on a short loop.
    Nothing breaks the loop. Restarts, cache, clearing etc, etc, nothing. Oddly, the is no problem whatsoever with playing programmes streamed from the iPlayer library. No buffering, nothing, works exactly how it should and exactly how the live streaming was working up until recently.
    What have I tried? All the things suggested in other answers. Starting Firefox in safe mode, checking flash versions, turning off hardware acceleration in flash, resetting Firefox to default. Nothing works
    What does work, without issue, is iPlayer through Chrome, so the problem is not my laptop, iPlayer, my internet or presumably Flash so what is the problem with FF?

    Hi guigs2,
    I have checked that I have the latest available graphics driver; I have tried with hardware acceleration both on and off and I've also tested with WebGL enabled and disabled. However, the problem remains.
    I am now running Firefox v33.0.1, so the problem exists that version and also v31.0.
    To repeat/clarify, the problem is that the live stream seems to buffer but will not continue. Reloading/F5 just starts it from the beginning again. If it is left for long enough, eventually a "content not available" error is displayed. It also gets into a loop. I tried to watch live at 07:45am this morning, it played for about one minute then began to buffer and the stream froze. I tried twice more and the stream started at the same 07:45am point, even though it was then by 07:50am! It played the exact same one minute video stream from 07:45am and then froze.
    I tried the same channel 8 hours later - having restarted FF and having previously shut down the BBC site tab - and it played the same one minute loop from 07:45, rather than what was on live!
    I tried it again at 21:30 and got a live stream, not the one from 07:45 but the stream it should show however once again it froze after a minute. Once again, refreshes of the page/restarts etc only resulted in the same short loop being played every time.
    To reiterate, the problem does not manifest itself in Chrome or in IE in any way. Using either of these browsers, the live stream plays with no issue at all, so the inescapable conclusion is that the problem is Firefox-related in nature somehow.

  • Apple TV 3 not working with Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A

    CURRENT GENERATION APPLE TV (3)
    Hi I recently bought an ATV 3 which works fine with a Panasonic TV but is not detected on the HDMI input (or any of the others listed in the Sony menu) by a several year old Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A despite the specs saying it supports 1080 p HDMI input. The HDMI lead is the same that worked successfully with the Panasonic TV.  I have reset the Sony to factory settings, turned the power on and off; cut the power to the ATV 3 and re-booted and tried the fixes I've seen listed on other threads which speak of editing the External Input labels and skipping the ones you don't use (on the Sony) but none of these have helped, can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Simon

    That does make things more difficult. Is the monitor HDCP compliant? Seeing as it's an issue with the display and not the device the only thing I could suggest is to get hold of another TV in order to lower the resolution on ATV. If that doesn't work then i'm not really sure what else to try i'm afraid.

  • Apple tv 2 doesn't work with Sony Bravia

    Hi,
    I have tried to connect the Apple tv 2 to a Sony Bravia (model:KLV-32BX300), after I make the connection (HDMI), I get initially the apple logo, but after a few seconds I only get the screen to change slightly color, like if wanted to make a connection, but nothing happens. After a while a "Unsupported signal, check you device imput" comes up, after that I get the apple logo again!!! and everything starts all over....
    I have tried many HDMI cables, unplug the tv and the apple tv... Before I hade the apple tv 2 connected to tv Sharp, and everything worked perfectly.
    I'm desperate!!!
    Hope somebody can help!
    Thanks

    I think the fact that it doesn't work on 2 TV's does tend to suggest the problem is with the Apple TV rather than the TV, but this is by no means certain.
    Jailbreaking may or may not be the problem, however it does create another problem for you in that if the problem is a result of jailbreaking we cannot discuss a fix under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Factory restoring to remove any unauthorised modifications may resolve the problem and allow us to discuss the problem should it persist.

  • Bravia Sync does not work with Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.

    Bravia Sync does not function with my Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and Sony BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.  The Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B does not list the Sony BDV-N8100W on the Bravia Sync device list.  Does anyone have an explanation or solution for this?

    Please use a component cable.  With either RCA or optical for audio.  That is the quickest fix.  For current HDMI issues. 
    1.7 upgrade has been known to fix most of the HDMI issues.  Verizon is working diligently to roll out img 1.7.

  • I can't connect my MBP to my Sony Bravia

    2009 MPB OS 10.5.8, 2.26 GHz Intel Processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9400m
    Sony Bravia “BRAVIA”
    Connected with a Gigaware Mdp to HDMI adapter, and a Radioshack 3ft. HDMI cable
    The MBP doesn't detect anything, hitting "Detect Displays" does nothing.
    The TV just says "no signal" or "unsupported signal"
    I've tried unplugging/replugging and turning on and off in every possible order.
    Any ideas?

    The cable is probably the problem.  Apple only supports an adapter from Mini DisplayPort to HDMI and a standard HDMI cable.  These all-in-one cables aren't supported.

  • Why has bbc iplayer stopped working on OS 10.5.8

    My mac mini has stopped downloads of the latest iplayer and firefox versions sayng that it it not compatible with the software.  The os check says that there is no softwaqre update available.  Ideas please.

    This is so annoying!
    I'm running an intel iMac with OS X v10.5.8.
    I don't really want to upgrade the OS to a later version because I've got all my software set up the way I need it.
    I don't want to risk messing it all up and having to reinstall it all or something.
    Is there no way of converting the app to run on older OS versions? That would be handy.

  • Apple TV not working with Sony Bravia KDL-32BX320

    Not sure if this is because the Sony model is only labelled 'HD ready'- would I have to get a new TV? Anyway, connected Apple TV via HDMI cable and going into TV setup the Sony TV says there are no devices connected. The TV has two HDMI ports

    you could likely connect it to another tv and lowers the default resolution

  • BBC iPlayer just stopped working on N97 - 29/04/10

    N97 Firmware v21.0.045
    Just last night BBC iPlayer stopped working for me has been working every other day (and have used it every day for last week or so) and never had any problems in the past.
    Symptom; app a bit slow to start and a bit slow to load up the images then whatever Telly or Radio programme I select when I press on  the "Click to Play" icon nothing happens at all and makes no difference with repressing, phone is registering the press as I`m getting haptic feedback.
    Uninstalled and reloaded from OVI and tried old version there, upgraded newly downloaded version from OVI both via the app itself (after uninstalling every time) and updated via BBC webpage and downloaded whole app new version from BBC web page. All without joy, the only thing that I think I`ve done or changed routine in last couple months is that yesterday I downloaded Steve`s Phones Show on my phone last night and watched it on phone using the video player and then deleted the download. I mention this as I think iPlayer uses the Realplayer engine to plahy stuff and it seems as if this is not connecting or has had a routing changed somehow  or is hung up doingh something else (have tried playing video recorded using phone without problem and have no other video files). Phone is short on C: between 5-12MB but has been like that for six weeks and app worked before.
    Anyone similar experience or any thoughts? - did search the history but couldn`t see any similar probs or hints. Really Really really don`t want to reset it and rebuild it.
    Thx

    At least when media has gone a bit ditsy on my s60 I have found that deleting these files on C-Drive has helped.
    delete:
    MdfPluginArchive.txt
    plugin_archive.txt
    There is sometime one called Hxmeta.... or something like that...
    And then restart phone. Media player will re-create the files.
    Not sure if these are exactly the same on N97, but at least they are there on most others that I have used.
