@outonbluesix Back in the days of UK Nova someone had taken all the Graske footage from the iPlayer & reengineered it to work as a DVD game with the coloured buttons. Wish I still had that .iso

Part two These hiccups occur while watching BBC iPlayer, Netflix and streams from my WD MyCloud Home NAS which are all ethernet connected. Is there a known problem with the network and can you suggest a way of monitoring these dropouts. Jim

@zolabrava therefore neither of us are wrong. it actually now makes more sense to me why the song is terrible. if you want i could take a video of the opening credits i watch through the bbc iplayer website or you could use a vpn to have a look yourself. bit extreme though.

Dubai Hustle on iPlayer is probably one of the worst things I’ve ever seen

For anyone thinking of watching #Panorama on iPlayer, save yourself the trouble. Apart from a few comments you've already seen from whistleblowers it's the usual Kuennsberg sycophantic nonsense with a bit of equating a beer in Durham during a campaign meeting with 126 fines ...

@supertanskiii Was saving it for the iPlayer later on, but sounds like there's no point. TBH, as soon as I saw LK's name associated with it I feared the worst.

@mcgrimreaperUwU @heyitsnatalie00 It has its variation of quality. I watched the reboot entirely from 2005 however since Jodie became the doctor it’s gone downhill to the point I lost interest. Watch series 4, you won’t regret it. BBC iplayer

@petepaphides The BBC iPlayer app is also poor. I get a call every time they want her to "sign in" on her "phone, pc, or tablet". She's 87. She can't get her head around all that. To give context, she still completes every Times crossword you put in front of her. She is not stupid.

@xandvt All the advice I've seen has been about spotting symptoms in others and getting help for them. What do you advise for those of us who live alone? [Please reply on Twitter, I have no TV, ergo no licence, ergo no iplayer.]

@lokiscottishrap @BBCScotland Found your doc by chance on iplayer, the episode about alcohol. I found it fascinating as I work with people who have 'wet brain' aka Korsokoffs Syndrome. Sad it only got a fleeting mention. But it's also the first time I have heard it mentioned on a programme about alcoholism.

@BBCiPlayer the Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe program is not loading on the IPlayer through Virgin Media error code 02000

@sonofswiss From what I've read it feels like they are attempting to tie together the various incarnations of 'sport', 'iplayer', 'weather', etc. Across different platforms and help people see 'that thing on your smart TV is a version of this thing on the website', etc.

The last MNC of the the season is two hours long and on the iPlayer to watch. I tuned in like an idiot. There’s four of them on the sofas yet it will work out at a solid 90 minutes of Big Meeks talking absolute wham.

@Fastone55 @piffpuffpoof Don't watch BBC or iplayer or any live TV as its being broadcast. You can watch catch up which is 1 hour after live broadcast on ITV Ch4 Ch5 etc., not anything on BBC. I stopped paying over a year ago it's no problem watching 1 hour later.

@BBCNews iPlayer showing a red screen with sound of running water when local news is broadcast makes me move to #Sky News. Fix this defect. Streaming is the new preferred option. The same reason I never used BBC HD.

I think i'm gonna cry. I wanna watch dr who but the ******* VPNs won't work an it's frustating. BBC iPlayer is also frustating. Maybe I could find dr who on an illegal streaming service but I don't feel like dealing with the adds there. Do any of you know a free UK VPN that works

Horror Express is on BBC4 just now which means you can iPlayer it. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing and a cheap monster that somehow knows how locks work. A proper horror film.
