Reported by MSN.com, Samsung TV users hit by glitch that stops BBC being watched – is your television on the list

Homes with some Samsung TVs installed are facing major issues when trying to watch content using the BBC iPlayer app. It appears that a bug is causing this popular service to crash when it’s launched on certain screens.

The gremlins began on Wednesday, April 19 with the BBC and Samsung confirming they are looking into the problems.

“We’re aware of an issue with the iPlayer app on certain Samsung TV’s where the app crashes when attempting to watch a programme,” the BBC said on its dedicated help page.

“Samsung are currently investigating this and hope to release a fix in a future update. Once we know more, we will update this page.”

A total of 14 screens appear to be affected by the bug and if you have one of the models we are listing below then it’s likely that you won’t be able to use iPlayer until things are fixed.

There’s no word on when things will be fixed but it’s likely that Samsung will push out an upgrade in the coming days so hopefully, a full service will be resumed soon.
