Ratings and Reviews
Love this service!
Epic service for those on overseas tours/deployments, especially the sports! Catch up watch an excellent addition too!
Reach back to the UK
Great reach back to the UK for a daily fix of TV, however it’s a shame an app is not available for Apple TV, as having to HDMI it into my TV all the time is crazy.
Not sure what they’re (BFBS/SSVC) worried about if you are on LFS/overseas tour you should be able to watch it however suits you. Screen mirroring would a decent first step to opening up the viewing options.
Updated App
The updated interface, increased number of channels and most importantly the improved video quality are welcomed.
However, you can no longer AirPlay all content to a larger screen, either via WiFi or the Apple Digital AV adapter. It appears to only work with some of the BBC/ITV channels but not the BFBS, Sky or BT Sport ones.
I assume this is due to DRM issues but as we are outside of the U.K. then why does that matter?
Bring back AirPlay mirroring so we can watch the tv like normal people and not on an iPhone!
