I would pay it as well if I could, but I can't :'(
I really like tv in England, so does anyone know a way to get this working in Australia?

Looks like it will work - but I'm on a tethered phone connection so it won't actually stream to me....
Yeah the picture via the app is too poor quality for a screen this size, it's fine for smartphones but really the bbc needs to get some tablet support and hd streaming. hopefully the nexus will sell really well and force their hand. same goes for channel 4.
Better to use the desktop version and choose the hd option. I'm using Firefox aurora just need to choose show desktop sites option.

You will need a vpn try iPortal - costs 5 euros a month... simple to set up on a tablet, phone or PC.... works fine for me and I'm in France.
Already emailed them both...
6 times.
No menu button app - no settings to change video quality. Anybody brave enough to mess with it?

TV catch up has a beta android app avail from the link that does work on n7 !! -
I have flash installed not sure whether it needs it, first time I hit full screen it didn't work but went back and subsequent attempts work.
Picture is not bad on n7
Has Olympic channels and all UK free view channels.
Its live TV BTW not show catch up. But this seemed good threads to mention.
It checked my ISP on startup so may be UK only deal.
Cool tho! Do try.

you don't need Flash and you can watch offline
So I've known how to do this for a while but its pertinent to the issue of No Flash and getting BBC Iplayer on the Nexus 7.
So I've got working the BBC Iplayer App, and I've got working the Flash and Firefox Beta, but on the Android the BBC does not offer a download capability, the Android not supported and it doesn't play .WMV DRM files.
But there is an answer, you can download using get_iplayer, you can download it install it, it works on Windows or Linux, I will try it on the Nexus 7 after my daughter stops playing games (
) on my Nexus, but I did test it the following and it worked.:good:
Useful even if you've got Flash and Firefox for offline viewing. Quality is excellent.
Now I'm not sure if the BBC insists you're in the UK to download. I'll give it a go later not using the methods to bypass the GeoIP checker, and retry....

- Select and download a program you want to watch
- copy the resulting mp4 file to your Nexus (SSH file copy, CIFS copy, USB stick, etc)
- Play it with MXPlayer

Where are the .apk files?
I have downloaded the Flash Player and BBC IPlayer zip files to my PC, unzipped them, then transferred them to my Nexus 7. I can't find any.apk files to install. I am new to using and installing apps so would appreciate any help you can give me. What am I doing wrong?

42Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.1Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.
Sent from my Nexus 71Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.
I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.
