Google has stopped selling the Chromecast, leaving the more expensive TV Streamer (£99) as the only streaming device it now offers.
However, this still lacks the iPlayer app because of what the BBC calls a “technical issue”.This probably means the TV Streamer hasn’t passed the BBC’s strict compatibility tests to guarantee the iPlayer works on it.
The BBC said last November that the iPlayer would be added soon, and included the TV Streamer in its list of supported devices (see Issue 698, page 7).
