BBC iPlayer on EE TV

You can find BBC iPlayer in the apps rail and apps page on your EE TV Box Pro or TV Box Edge.

You can also find BBC iPlayer content in the EE TV search. If you have an Apple TV box, you can find it in your apps store. 

You'll need a BBC account and a TV licence to watch BBC iPlayer on EE TV.

Open the BBC iPlayer application on your EE TV:

1. Press the Sign In button.
2. You should see a screen asking you to use a second device to sign in. 
3. At the bottom of the screen, it should say, "Don't have a mobile, tablet or computer? Press down." Press down on your remote control.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to get access to BBC iPlayer.

BBC programmes that you record in Internet Mode will play automatically from the BBC iPlayer app.

This means that you’ll always get your full recording (even if you set the recording after the programme has started) and in the highest quality. Finding programmes you love will also be easier, as iPlayer has features such as ‘more like this’ and the ability to show you previous or future episodes of what you have recorded.

Before you start recording: 

• You’ll need an account with the BBC to watch your programme.
• Not all programmes are available on the BBC iPlayer, like regional news, films and sporting events. If a recording isn’t in iPlayer, it will be shown as unavailable after the programme has aired.
• It can take up to 15 minutes for your programme to become available after it finishes. This depends on whether the programme was pre-recorded or broadcast live.
• Programmes will expire, and availability may vary. Programmes like news bulletins may expire after 24 hours, while other programmes like dramas and documentaries will be available for up to 365 days.

The parental control settings are controlled using your EE TV service and not within the BBC iPlayer app.

See our dedicated parental controls and PIN page for more information.

If you have issues with the app or content, you can find help and support available at iPlayer help and FAQs | iPlayer help.
