How can I get BBC iplayer on my New Zealand shield? APK seems to be an update, not full program

by CyrisXD

Hi all,

I have NordVPN installed and working on my shield, I have location services turned off and set locale to English (United Kingdom). However I don't see BBC iPlayer in the App store.

Whenever I try APK's from APKMirror they seem to be updates to iPlayer, not the full program itself so it can't install.

Any help is appreciated.

Edit: I'm specifically looking for the AndroidTV version.

Cheers

First thing's first - have you checked the settings (security and restrictions)? Might be your android tv just not letting you install an unverified app. If all is good, have you tried maybe sideloading the APK? And you did right by turning off location settings and having NordVPN set on UK

Install aptoide and then install iplayer from there

I can't help with your exact requirement but will say it casts just fine if you have iPlayer on a phone/tablet.

For what it's worth, there isn't a generic "Android TV" version of iPlayer. There's a specific Shield version and I think a version on the Sony Android TVs, but there isn't one available for other Android TV boxes such as the MiBox.
