Cable Forum - View Single Post - Smart TVs with catch up service apps pre loaded

None of Samsung's 2016 sets are listed on the BBC iPlayer support pages as being certified. There is a nice 2015 model with curved screen that is certified and well spoken of in reviews but getting hold of one is tough - almost everywhere is sold out, I suspect permanently.

I have been looking at an LG model this morning, but this is one of the ones that is ambiguous when it comes to iplayer support. I am reading suggestions that a firmware upgrade last month enabled iplayer. I think there's a reasonable chance that stock already held by retailers won't have that firmware already and will require an upgrade immediately on setting up.
