BBC iPlayer should soon be available on Google’s TV Streamer (pictured right) after the broadcaster approved the device.
Google launched the TV Streamer in September without the iPlayer app, leading to criticism from users. It was one of the reasons Computeractive gave the device a two-star rating when reviewing it in Issue 695 (page 29).
The BBC had said Google needed to submit the TV Streamer to its testers so it can check the iPlayer works on it. It does this for all new streaming devices and TVs, then adds them to its list of certified products at www.snipca.com/52942.
