“On 11th November BBC iPlayer will no longer be available directly on this device.”

OK, so, I didn’t purchase this particular (Blaupunkt) TV, but as it’s my mother’s then, well, I’m the one that has to “fix” this.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

I see the BBC website has some links to review sites, but I thought this might be another place to ask for - preferably open source - devices that could be used.

    Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

    This would be my suggestion. Get a mini pc or dongle and use the TV simply as a display. Internet connected TVs are never well supported.

    Also, highly suggest disconnecting the TV from the internet. They don’t get security updates and they are notorious for spying on people’s viewing habits.
