BT Vision gets new iPlayer version

May 21, 2015 10.07 Europe/London By Julian Clover

BBC iPlayer ChannelsThe BBC has upgraded the version of the iPlayer used by the old BT Vision set-top box.

Peter Lasko, senior product manager, BBC iPlayer says this is a significant milestone because it’s the last major platform to move from the old server stack used to power the popular catch-up service.

The new version offers the iPlayer exclusive, Radio 1 video channel and collections.

Over the last year the BBC has moved from eight versions of the iPlayer to one.

Live channel playback, which is now a feature of the TV version, will shortly be introduced to Microsoft Xbox One and Sony Playstation 4.
