Sadly no integration with the iPlayer until 2017 which is a shame.

4:3 programme presented in 16:9?


It was a 4:3 picture, but the actual image was cut off. For example, on titles if "John Doe Producer" was shown, all you could see on screen was "oe Producer".

The first episode of "Holding On" is badly cut off on the edges. It's as if its been zoomed in.

Cropped to 16:9 then back to 4:3 again?

Maybe, I don't know if it was originally 4:3 to start with, whatever they have done, the support team does not understand why there is a problem.

If this was a DVD you would take it back to the shop.

The BBC Store iOS App is now equipped with Chromecast. I believe the Android equivalent is/is about to be similarly equipped.

iOS one to Android TV works well.

A warning at least one series (Sacred Rivers) is the BBC WW sold 49min edit version and not the original BBC UK 59min.

I'm guessing purchases will only be available through iPlayer. I can't imagine a mass refund operation.
