BBC iPlayer worked when I had an aerial signal but now only have satellite and unable to use any TV player other than five - does not seem possible to download the apps although they do appear in Sony select but don't work as it wants me to use youview which doesn't work as no aerial signal - help!!

Hey @garychesterton,

It would be great if you provided us with the exact model of your Sony TV.

It is a KD-49XG8396.

Hey gary,

Youview uses signals coming from Aerial only unfortunately.

So I managed to temporarily connect to an aerial and now the players are working but if Sony had also given some thought to the satellite guide I would be happier - why have satellite connections but without a decent programme guide - makes no sense. I can only see current and next on some channels - it is rubbish.
