How to download shows on BBC iPlayer to your smartphone and tablet
In the app, pick a TV show and tap on the 'Download' icon - and it will start to download. A status bar will appear to show you the file size, and the time remaining until the download is complete.
You can only download shows over wi-fi connection, not 3G or 4G, and it's also worth nothing programmes are specific to the device you download them on to. Downloads don't sync across all your devices.
| Where can I find all my downloaded shows? Head to the 'Downloads' section in the app's drop-down navigation menu, and you'll find a list of shows downloaded on to your device. You can remove shows by tapping the 'edit' button in the top corner, selecting the show and pressing delete. If you don't have wi-fi, you can still queue up shows over 4G and wait until you get internet connection for the downloads to take place. There's a separate tab for all the programmes that you've queued up. Here, you can track their download progress, or tap 'edit' to remove shows if you've changed your mind. Once a show is downloaded, it automatically goes into the Downloaded tab. How long can you watch the downloaded programmes for?All downloaded shows will stay on your device for 30 days, after which they are automatically removed. The status under each programme shows how many days it is available for. Download on to your laptop You can't download shows directly from the iPlayer website on to your laptop. For that, you'll need the BBC iPlayer Downloads desktop app. It's available free from the website and works roughly in the same way as downloading from within the app. Series record You can record whole series of your favourite programmes on the desktop app. The next available episode will automatically download (provided there's an internet connection). Warning! This will take up a lot of space on your laptop's storage. |
| While iPlayer used to hold both radio and televisual content, the two were split - the core iPlayer handles television and BBC Sounds became the place to find all of the BBC's radio channels and podcasts. Along with streaming stations such as Radio 1 and Radio 2 live, you can dip into the archives to enjoy radio programmes on-demand. BBC Sounds works in a similar way to the TV version, including the ability to download shows as podcasts to enjoy later. If you're looking for top notch headphones to use while listening to your favourite radio programme, read our guide on the most reliable headphone brands. Another part of the BBC's online services is the BBC Store. This is a bit like iTunes for all the BBC's programmes, enabling you to buy content in the same way you'd purchase it on a DVD. This digital video online shop has entire series – contemporary and classic – to buy to keep on your computer or other device. Any purchases you make are made available to watch through iPlayer itself. |
