KD-XF9005 BBC iPlayer not working

My TV has updated recently and I noticed yesterday BBC iPlayer from Sony Select won't load, ITV Hub, 4 player & My 5 won't load either. BBC News & Sports still work. Anyone can help please? Thanks

The above confirms that they are different, and no longer require the corresponding channel to be tuned, and the magazine says you can use them even with YouView disabled.

 

And it seems that they are in the Google Play TV Store now; but if you try to download them on  pre-2020 sets, it seems that they come up as ‘not compatible’.

 

So still some way to go 😢 YouView dog, out of the manger please!

Would be interesting to hear from an XH owner if the apps are pre loaded in Sony Select or can be downloaded from the Play Store
