Can't use BBC iPlayer on your current TV? You can most likely adapt it with a plug-in device that does support BBC iPlayer, rather than missing out altogether or buying a new TV.

Try searching yourself: you’ll find a lot of information online as well as in high street stores. If you’ve narrowed down your search to a few devices, try reading a few reviews for each device.

Before you make a purchase

Make sure the device is certified to use BBC iPlayer:

  1. Go to the How can I check if BBC iPlayer is available on a particular TV? page
  2. Use the manufacturer links in the table at the bottom of the page
  3. Check the manufacturer's page to see if the device you want is listed

You may even find that you already have another BBC iPlayer-supported device in your household, like a set-top box, games console, or streaming stick.
