The STV Player is now available for Sony Android TVs in Scotland

Hi all,
The STV player is now available for the first time on all Sony Android TVs. Available only in Scotland, viewers can access the STV Player via the YouView Players page.
You can now scroll back through the channel guide on STV, STV+1 and STV HD channels and see what programmes are available to watch on catch-up. Find out more about the STV Player here.
Thanks,
Phil

Welcome to the forum. It depends which device you are trying to download to. Do you mean your Smart Tv, Your Tablet/Smart Phone? You need to give a little bit more information. Hopefully someone can advise/help you. John L
That being so, we need to discern @scoop’s difficulty in following Phil’s advice to go to the YouView Players page on his Sony TV, and find it there.
‘Not being in Scotland‘ could be one evident difficulty; this probably translates to not getting STV on Channel 3 on the EPG, though I suppose it could relate to not having input a Scottish postcode.
Me, I’d be very inclined to look in the Google Android (TV) Store on the Sony, and see if it appears there, and if it can be downloaded to the TV.
The inability to get this service on any non-YouView device, though, is probably best taken up with STV themselves.
I have just investigated downloading it on this iPad; see the attached screenshot. I don’t know if it could tell if I looked up Edinburgh Castle and used that, though, when I am in reality in a decidedly Sassenach location....
None, I am afraid. YouView on these sets comes via a terrestrial aerial only.
You could try disabling YouView, and see if ‘cable’ then gets your broadcast channels from the Virgin box, but I doubt it.
And maybe the STV Player only comes from the YouView side anyway?
However, if you can do a terrestrial tune, maybe with an indoor antenna, then once you have tuned in STV, you don’t need to keep the aerial connected, and the STV Player should now work, even without it.
I imagine you have the same issue with All4, though you don’t mention that?
The STV app should be available via the Live TV & Catch-Up section of the TV rather than via the play store on the TV. If it's not there, you can try retuning the TV (through the TV Settings) and this may bring it back.
Let us know how you get on
