By the way, you will see a BBC iPlayer app available on the Canadian or US iTunes site - that is for the worldwide subscription service that gives limited availability of programmes. You don't want that one - you want the one that is available in the UK that has the domestic range of channels. That's also the problem with the ITV subscription service - if someone in Canada wanted to use it, they'd need a British Credit Card. If they tried to use a Canadian Card, that would mean they would be geolocated outside the UK and likely rejected by the ITV. To watch on your OSX device, you just go to the relevant web site.

Whether watching via iPad or OSX, only the BBC allows you to download and watch for up to 30 days - the iPad version already has download capability and if using OSX, they will make you install the new BBC iPlayer downloader app - but that seems to work fine after I sorted out my problem.īut on both iPad and OSX, the ITV and 4oD shows are streamed as their apps or websites don't allow downloading. So the neat thing about iPlayer Automator is that it does download the ITV and 4oD programmes, as well, of course, all the BBC channels.Īs you are aware, most iPads don't have a lot of memory, so while the BBC app does allow a download to the iPad, it will fill the memory pretty quick - at HD, a half hour show is around 400 meg. By the time you load up on favourite shows, you can run into problems with other programmes. programme downloads - just a tad more than available on my iPad! So I prefer to use iPlayer Automator to do all the downloading to my OSX device, which I then transfer to my NAS server where I have 1 tera available for t.v.

The other neat thing about iPlayer Automator is that it strips the DRC and the programme expiry date - so you can build up or archive a library of programmes. This isn't possible if you do a download from the BBC as they put a 30 day limit on them.Īfter it has grabbed the programmes from whichever channel, iPlayer Automator stores them as mp4's and, as I said, they are on my NAS server. I can then watch them on my iPad or OSX device with any media player - on the iPads, I actually use FileBrowser as it allows me to set up a bookmarked connection to the relevant directory on my NAS server, so making it easier for SWMBO to find what she wants to watch.įinally, there is another benefit to this iPlayer Automator approach.
When we travel - we have one kid in the Middle East so visit him at least once a year - we can take our tv shows with us.
