Will updating the software on my TV provide a better BBC iPlayer experience?

Yes. Sometimes in order to get the most out of BBC iPlayer we need you to update the software on your TV or set-top box.

As well as fixing any bugs or minor issues, the latest upgrades to your device can unlock new features such as the ability to restart live TV, provide live UHD video when available, or just improve how BBC iPlayer works. Sometimes we will notify you of key software updates through your TV.

Updating your TV's software should be a simple process but it's best to check your manual or contact your TV's manufacturer for advice.
