Roku, NowTV and iPlayer

Tony_778 · 22-11-2014, 08:00

I have a Roku and a NowTV box and both are now unable to fit the BBC iPlayer title menu on the screen (since the last update I believe).
I lose the top and left hand side menus.
I've tried a range of different TV resolutions which make no difference so it looks like the way the Roku interprets the iPlayer stream.

Does anyone have a solution although not major it is really annoying

Thanks

I had a similar issue and had to select "Just Scan" on my LG tv and this fixed it.

If you have a CRT you're out of luck, but if you use an HDMI cable, then try Settings >> Display Type on your Now TV or Roku box and choose 720p.

This has worked for many people.
