BBC iplayer didn’t work out here. Everyone gone ballistic. Kane can’t get us out jail every game. We’re still in fight for 4th Bentaciour plays Monday. Levy needs to replace 14 in squad but will be done on cheap. Conte is winner but I can’t see him staying #THFC

Hi @bbc, you’ve updated the iPlayer app on Amazon and Freesat. Frankly, it’s isn’t fit for purpose, the search function doesn’t work and keeps showing an error notice. Also any series I’m watching no longer shows on the home screen. I hope it’s fixable 🤨

@BBC Would you mind removing the regional block for your coverage of the Ukranian War? I would very much like to see your reports, but your website blocks my access. (BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues.) Can you upload it to youtube too?

@BBCiPlayer all very well telling me that the iPlayer may look different & can still be watched as normal, if the programme will actually play when searched. Just comes up error. So I can't watch today's episode of Doctors. Please fix this issue. #Doctors #iplayer #BBC
