How do I use BBC iPlayer on my PlayStation 3?

You can stream, but not download, programmes onto your PlayStation 3. First you need to make sure you have the latest PlayStation 3 updates installed.

Once you are set up and you are connected to a fast enough internet connection (we recommend at least 1Mbps), all you need to do is head to the BBC iPlayer homepage.

From there you can select a range of programmes that you can Click to Play (streaming) - simply select a programme and when its page loads, click on the image to make it appear full-screen. You can then Click to Play.

You are in the UK

If you are in Britain but receive a message saying you are not, please see this advice.
