BBC Iplayer on KD43X81JU

I just purchased this model android tv. I have looked in Sony select and cannot see the app. Anyone any advice? Some goes for All 4.

Though I've just purchased the XR-65A80J - Google Play or the installed apps - no where is BBC or All4 available anywhere! 😤🤯

Sony have said that these apps, not present at the moment on the 2021 sets, will be added later in the year.

In the meantime, I recommend a Roku Express 4K, £39.99 (or £29.99 today from Amazon, if you have Prime) to tide you over until Sony get their act together.

Hi Dalegilbert,

Sony confirmed that this is temporary issue that will be fixed during this year! You can still watch these apps tho by casting the content from your phone through Google Cast functionality until the issue is sorted out.

Hope it helps!

Or he can send it back as ‘goods not as described’ and buy a TV that actually does what it says on the tin 😛
