Does my TV device support Live or Watch from Start?

Playing a programme live or playing it from the start isn't available on all TVs, games consoles, Blu-Ray players or set-top boxes. The easiest way to find out if your device is supported is by launching the Â鶹ԼÅÄ iPlayer TV app. Then check the following:

  • Choose a currently-broadcasting channel in theÌýChannels section of Â鶹ԼÅÄ iPlayer
  • If you can see the On NowÌýpanel at the top and you canÌý"Watch live" orÌý"Watch fromÌýstart"Ìý(at the bottom of the panel), then your device supports live and watch from the start

  • If you can’t see the phrase "WatchÌýfrom start"Ìýin the On Now panel then your device supports live only.
  • If you can’t see the On Now panel, then neither Live nor Watch from Start are available on your device.
