Download programmes onto your computer, if it supports BBC iPlayer Desktop.

If you are outside the UK and connected to the internet you can:

Recently BBCIplayer has been made available to Freesat HD receivers, specifically Humax HD receivers.

And later in 2010 the ITV Iplayer services will also be added to the Freesat receivers.

Sony have also released their latest software (1.630SA) to enable BBC iPlayer on all their Freesat built-in Sony televisions. If you have one of these televisions, you should now be able to access BBC iPlayer from BBC1 by pressing the red button followed by code 5483. Other manufacturers will be added as and when they have carried out the initial testing with the BBCi Tech Team. All Freesat HD receivers are expected to have BBC iPlayer enabled within the next few months.

Freesat have put together a video guide to help people connect up their Freesat receiver to allow Iplayer functionality.
