UK telly fans rejoice! Boxee is bringing BBC iPlayer to Apple TV! The media centre app, which is the favourite of Apple TV hackers, has announced its new version will bring the BBC’s on-demand shows to Apple’s set-top streamer.
It’s fantastic news for UK-based TV fans, and turns Apple TV into a must-have accessory at last.
Until now, anyone wanting the iPlayer on their TV needed to subscribe to Virgin Media, or fiddle with intricate settings to coax the Beeb’s streaming service into life.
Now Boxee says iPlayer functionality will be built into its software, eliminating the need for complex set-up.
What’s more, we’ve learned future updates to Boxee will bring support for USB TV tuners to Apple TV, letting the software tune into live broadcasts and schedule recordings. It’ll turn Apple TV into a true DVR.
