Hi,

I am trying to install BBO app on my philips smart tv (android) but it doesn't recognise the Smart TV as device to install the app. any work arounds for this?

another question;
I can't find a link or place to download the oldfashioned BBO software for on your laptop. I like that a lot, is it still possible to download?

thx alot
Spooky

If the TV can access the Google Play store, I think it should just install like any other app.

Here's the download link for the old version of BBO:

Can't you use the browser version? On my samsung tv it works fine.

I once tried on my Samsung TV, its browser didn't have Flash. I can't imagine using my TV's browser for anything complex -- just moving the mouse around with the remote control arrow buttons is cumbersome.

The problem is that in the google Play store when you look for bridge base it doesn't find the app (we tried bridge/bridgebase with/without spaces etc..) And when you google, it finds it but it says already installed(when you use an emailadress that's the same as your phone) or no device found.

Thnx for the link :)
