Moreover, has BBC iPlayer changed recently?

The BBC is planning major changes to iPlayer including a longer expiry date for programmes and the availability of box sets. iPlayer is currently seen as a catch-up television service where audiences can watch programmes they may have missed when they were first broadcast on television.

Similarly, how long does BBC iPlayer take to update? Depending on this, it can take up to four times the length of the programme for it to become available. Remember that you can use Live Restart and rewind live channels in BBC iPlayer by up to two hours.

Considering this, why has BBC iPlayer stopped working?

A software glitch is preventing the BBC's iPlayer streaming service from running on many of Samsung's smart TVs. Samsung said the problem had been caused by "security certificates" expiring on Sunday. These are used to verify that the software on the TVs has permission to access iPlayer's library of content.

Why can't I get BBC iPlayer on my TV?

If you're unable to access BBC iPlayer, it might be because your YouView box has the old version of BBC iPlayer installed which is now retired. You'll need to update your YouView box which will install the latest version of BBC iPlayer.
