Can I browse the web on my T4•R?
No, while the T4•R uses a web browser to run streaming apps like BBC iPlayer and ITVX, it doesn’t support general web browsing.
This design choice helps ensure:
- Stable and reliable performance
- Efficient use of system memory
- Protection against security risks
- Reliable recording functionality
The pre-installed streaming apps are specially optimised and tested to work within the T4•R’s capabilities. Unlike general websites, which can use unpredictable amounts of CPU and memory (especially those with advertising or social media elements), these apps are designed to stay within specific memory limits and maintain consistent performance.
