How do I find or update BBC iPlayer on YouView?

BBC iPlayer will be installed the first time you try to access it. You can access BBC iPlayer on YouView by:

  • Selecting BBC iPlayer from the 'Players' section in YouView
  • Watching a BBC programme from the last seven days via the YouView EPG (electronic programme guide)
  • Watching a BBC programme from the last seven days via the YouView On Demand area

How can I manually update BBC iPlayer on my YouView set-top box?

Your YouView set-top box checks for new versions of BBC iPlayer and updates automatically. However, to force an update, or check you’re running the latest version of BBC iPlayer:

  1. Select the YouView/Home button on your remote control
  2. Go to Settings and select Device Management
  3. Select Update on-demand players
  4. Hit Check Now to download and install the latest version (if not already installed)

If you have any trouble with this, you can contact YouView on the YouView Support website.
