Elizabeth is Missing

There is more information here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50747526 It seems that it is Samsung who have not updated the security certificates that are required to access the BBC iPlayer. One way round it is as Bill has discovered to use a third party device to circumnavigate the issue. We tend to watch TV through our Humax box rather than directly through the TV (not a Samsung). We do this because we are always recording programmes so it makes finding them easier from the same platform.

We watch our numb telly via a Humax box but have never introduced it to the Interweb ...

No problem with my Samsung, everything works as normal. Did turn tv on a few days ago and got a banner across the top saying software update completed.

Finally got through to Samsung today.... new software works ok on some models, fix in progress for others (mine) and for some older models fix will never be available. This experience has put me off any future Samsung purchases.

The Samsung box I have that I got BBC iPlayer through isn't that old 

Getting back to the original post I watched this over the weekend and found it enjoyable and compelling viewing.

We have a samsung smart T V. When entering bbc iplayer it tells me to check for updates and downloads accordingly, have you tried this?

Done all that to death with no improvement. My problems started with messages like yours, have you checked if your iPlayer works? It will load up ok, give you all the catch-up programme options, but then when you select what you want to watch, it just freezes for a while then gives you an error message. You can set your Samsung TV to auto update software, so should all happen without you knowing.

Finally got to see this tonight using my new Google gizmo. 

Outstanding drama -  well done BBC. It was obviously written by someone with deep, personal experience of a close family member with dementia. The stuff with scrappy lists everywhere is spot on, absolutely what my mother does, sometimes writing quite distressing things.
