I have tried to download a programme from BBC IPlayer onto my new Surface Pro 6 tablet but receive the message "you'll need a new app to open this bbc -ipd link, look for an app in Microsoft Store.  Anyone know what it is that I need to do?  Thanks

    Are you trying the application from the BBC web site ?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/install

    This app does install and run (confirmed on Surface Studio 2 Windows 10 ver. 1903)

    The Microsoft App store does not have an iPlayer download.

    Thank you very much for sending me the link.  I'm pleased to say this worked and I am now able to download easily.  (I now have two separate apps as the download app doesn't show TV programmes and the app that does, doesn't allow me to download but I can easily work around this). 

    Thanks again, I appreciate your help.
