iPlayer Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
George Spence (@georgespence1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer That screeching woman commentator on Arsenal game would do your ears in. Had to turn the sound off. Terrible from @BBCSport women are not compatible with the men's game.
-
Ciaran Carson (@carsey10) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer Fs there are two small housing estates near me that are built for people with disabilities so what would be the problem if the majority of cars were mobility in some streets
-
Claire Duffett (@duffett_claire) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Was going to say they spelt it phonetically but that doesn’t work either
-
Jonny Payne (@jonnypayne23) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer You can’t be intimidated by a flag. You can choose to be offended but that applies to anything. I could choose to be offended by terrible architecture. Doesn’t make it illegal and should be bulldozed

Nigel Charles (@NTilley21717) reported@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I go to work

.. (@_lg_1972) reported@EnglandRugby @BBCiPlayer I think barring 1 or 2, this is the worst squad and management I've seen for many a year

Les Bien (@BertSnazzle) reportedWhat’s going on with @BBCiPlayer app? It’s complete garbage…takes about 5 minutes to sign in 😠😠

leon green32 (@nollaigde) reported@StephenNolan @SJAMcBride @BBCiPlayer A United Ireland problem solved.
-
Danny Tarr (@DannyTarr) reported@StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer Buskers don’t bother me as some of them are very good to listen too. It’s the preachers I have a problem with. It has got way out of hand and I agree something needs to be done. Cant turn a corner without someone shouting about Jesus down a mic or forcing leaflets in your hand.

Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny’s actor is awful.

Alastair Raymond (@RaymondAlastair) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Loved this programme when it first started I was invited but had commitments,Standard of contestants has bottomed out-all terrible
-
North Yorkshire Owls (@NorthYorksOwls) reported@DGroundhopper @BBCiPlayer @BlairMcNally1 I think what you and I experienced in Berlin is fine, because it’s organised, because you know it’s going to happen and if you want to get away from it, you can. The issue over here is people letting them off incorrectly, unorganised and occasionally in enclosed environments.

crazy cat lady (@sutty56) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s the worst cast member in years , get her off the programme . Awful
