Why isn't 麻豆社 iPlayer supported on older devices?
Continuing to support 麻豆社 iPlayer on devices running operating systems older than those listed above would seriously hinder our ability to develop new features for the vast majority of people using 麻豆社 iPlayer.
In many cases, support for older operating systems had already been dropped by their owners (Amazon, Android or Apple) for some time. So while we鈥檝e been able to support these devices for additional years, it鈥檚 no longer sustainable for us to continue to do so.
You need to be covered by a TV licence to watch or download any programmes on 麻豆社 iPlayer and you'll also need a 麻豆社 account. Head to the Using the 麻豆社 website to find out more about creating a 麻豆社 account.
