BBC iPlayer - www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer

The BBC still produces some decent content, but it's news channels are increasingly sub par desperately trying to be unbiased but ultimately failing and promote demonstratably false information. The fact you are forced to pay for a service that now offers little in way of public service, fails to offer truly unbiased reporting and makes you jump through hoops to watch the services you have paid for makes it a sub par service such a shame given that it had such an advantageous starting point.

Just awful. Slow to react to input, little options to get what you want. Record your programs and watch at your leisure.

My bbciplayer buffers every now and again, although the wifi is excellent. Any ideas why?

Iplayer. A great service to watch all your favorite BBC shows. Ive been using it for 7 years and haven't had anything bad happen. Until yesterday. I got a new phone. Granted, it was £50 off of Amazon, but that shouldn't really affect my issue. I get my new phone in the post, set it up, and download Iplayer. I go to sign in, enter my details, and there is my issue. 404 page no found. So I close the page and guess what, I need to sign in again, 404 page not found. So instead of watching '2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps' I'm sat on the train for 3 hours making music. This is something I enjoy doing, but not for 3 hours by myself on a train. (I make music on BandLab, not carrying instruments with me).

Thanks

The BBC iPlayer has got much better of late I enjoy the fact that you have auto description on it’s just a shame I can’t put subtitles and auto descriptions on at the same time which I can do on my ordinary TV so come on iPlayer pull your finger out. I’m enjoying a murder mystery on iPlayer, though the main characters have been wokeeristed in that people of colour are everywhere, even in pre-war London when the Windrush hadn’t even docked. But if you can put that fact aside, and ignore it, the programs are enjoyable.

I do use catch up sometimes, when I've forgotten to record something, or missed it.I'venever had problems with anyoftheservices,other than BBC iplayer. Buffer really should be its official nam...at least it would let th hapless viewer know what's in store. It's just taken us almost 35 minutes longer than the actual programme length to watch it. The frequent (incessant) buffeting not only dampens the tension, but also kills an otherwise excellent drama stone dead. I have no such problems with ITVhub, or any other service, and our broadband/router aren't the problem either. It's purely the BBC layer....and for this I pay my license (sigh)

I am amazed this clunky, dogs dinner of a service was ever allowed. I use it on TV and find it unbelievably slow to access a programme. When trying to fast forward you can't see where you are so have to guess when to stop. I HATE it. Is this really the best the BBC can come up with?

I have downloaded the first episode of Pain, Pus and Poison. This can be watched without downloading but you only see a third of the screen. Just tried to play the first episode only to be told that there is no media player on earth that can play. Windows Media cannot play: MPC cannot play. So what program can play it?

When it works, the iPlayer is OK (perhaps no better than that. The problem is that about once a month it loses all downloaded programmes and refuses to download any more until I have uninstalled and re-installed it.

According to the iPlayer website it seems to be caused by Adobe Air updates, so as they know this, why on earth do they not come up with a work-around.

As a licence payer, I am annoyed that the corporation make it difficult for me to watch content that I have paid for.

I would recommend that everyone avoids this service.

I have an iphone, use iplayer daily on train. At least once a month all my downloads disappear. There is no fix and no bbc support. Just delete app and download programmes again.
