BBC iplayer not loading as of 2 days ago.

I have a KDL 50W805C and two days ago the BBC iplayer would no longer load,

It opened and I got the message that it was loading but the screen stayed that way,

Tried rebooting but same problem.

Went to the bbc iplayer problem page and found that this was the case with some Samsung TV's and other smart TV's. Sony Bravia was not mentioned specifically.

They are trying to fix it and hope to have a solution soon!

Has anyone had this problem?

Same here. Very disappointed. I had no catch up services on purchase in Jun 2021 and Sony gave feeble excuses util Christmas. Now it's stopped working.

The 'live TV & Catch Up' icon gets me to a working iplayer

Try what I did

Go to settings 

Settings-Privacy- Location Status     Was set to use wifi to estimate location. Changed it to 'Off'. 

Takes a minute.
