Want to see what's on TV right now? Select the TV guide or go to each channel's own mini-page to see what's on the schedule. Or there's always a VPN you can use (see below for deals). Unfortunately, iPlayer is only available within the UK so if you're holidaying abroad we'd make sure you've downloaded the shows you want to watch before your departure. Scroll right to the end of the page (or go to the app's settings), and you'll find an option to change your location to any of the UK regions. Here you can access all the BBC channels, the TV guide, refine your programme search by category (or simply type in the show name in the search field), and the My Programmes section where you'll find your viewing history, bookmarked and downloaded shows. On the website, this menu is simply a bar at the top of the iPlayer homepage.

Tap 'Menu' at the top left corner of the app screen, or pull down on the main interface, and you'll find the drop-down navigation menu for all the sections in iPlayer. The homepage's grid-like display shows off a mix of everything that iPlayer offers: TV boxsets and returning shows to brand new shows, comedy picks and a long list of David Attenborough nature documentaries. So along with the top 40 most popular shows and new programmes blazoned across the main page, you'll also get blocks of shows recommended just for you. Your BBC ID also helps the Beeb learn your viewing tastes, and tailor the homepage to display shows you might be interested in.
