Has anybody managed to get iPlayer downloads working on an Android tablet?
We’ve just moved out to the country, where the broadband is like treacle. If I want to watch something on the iPlayer I just get the spinning around buffering icon all the time, so the new download feature on iPlayer is a great help.
Or should be.
On my Mac Pro, the downloads work fine, but we don’t want to have to go upstairs in the spare room to watch. I’d rather download through my Android tablet and play it onto the TV through the HDMI socket.
Now BBC say they’ve fixed the bugs on iPlayer for Android but my nasty piece of crap tablet (Sumvision Astro running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4) won’t play anything that’s downloaded.
So before I throw it away and replace it with another one, I need to know if it’s a generic fault.
I was thinking of getting a Tesco Hudl, as they have HDMI output and are cheap too.
