How to use Chromecast to stream BBC iPlayer to TV – Guide
Google has announced that the Chromecast will receive official BBC iPlayer support with its new Google TV platform. This is a big step forward for the device, as it has been struggling to get support from the BBC. The old Chromecast powered by your phone had iPlayer support for years, but the Android TV platform had minimal support from the BBC.
A Reddit user from the United Kingdom managed to get their hands on a Chromecast with Google TV earlier and found that the BBC iPlayer app is available to download from the Google Play Store. The app looks fully functional in its demo below and has a different user interface than the older Nvidia app. Also of note is that Sky’s “NowTV” app also works on Chromecast, but it’s not fully loading yet.
