Hi, I have a sony internet enabled TV, that has Youtube, TV3 etc., enabled app installed, but no BBC Iplayer. I understand that I player is not available outside the UK, however, my ISP is a Northern Ireland provider and I can access the iplayer on my laptop no problem (I think I have a UK IP address). How do I get the iplayer on my TV, I tried a factory reset, selected the UK as my country and updated internet content, it stills comes up with the Irish Internet Video apps (Tv3), but no BBC iplayer. How does the TV know that I am Ireland based? is there a work around, I know I can hook up the laptop, but its too much hassle. Thanks
 
If your model is also available in the UK you may be able to download the Sony iPlayer app.
