Sagemcom is making the BBC iPlayer available on all its Sagem Freesat HD and Freesat+ HD set-top-boxes, following a successful service trial.

As long as the set-top-box is connected to the internet, users can catch up with BBC programmes and radio stations they have missed in the last seven days.

The iPlayer can be accessed by pressing the red button from most BBC channels and entering the official trial access code 5483.

Sagemcom’s MD, Raphael Fainac, said: “Sagemcom is a leader in set top box technology and we aim to provide our customers with products that they need.

“The BBC iPlayer has gained tremendous support since its launch and with all of the UK having either freeview or freesat the BBC iPlayer service is a great addition to our freesat offering.”
