How do you communicate on here then, Ottery? You can get iPlayer on desktop, laptop, tablet, iPad, mobile phone - anything with internet access within the UK in fact. You don’t have to have a smart TV, or any TV, come to that! It’s just a matter of downloading the software to whatever device you use, and setting up a FREE account.
And what “catchup” service were you using as per your post of 26.01.22? iPlayer is the BBC’s catch-up service.
