1) The inbuilt BBC IPlayer app on smart TVs is terrible. Not only is there no "TV guide" sections to allow you to filter through what was on on that particular day, you have to manually type in the program name on the remote to get to it.

@5K4R @Unitedd_India Yeah iPlayer won't work outside. I guess I'll just download it.

@SueArcher6 I thought of you today, on Iplayer we're watching a thing about the building work extending claridges whilst it was still open. They installed a crane through the middle of the building down a lift shaft as they couldn't get permission for it outside. Amazing engineering!

@woodgnomology I can't watch Question Time either. If there's ever someone on the panel I want to watch I can bring it up on iPlayer and fast forward past the rubbish. The chair is awful.

@laureng5783 The iplayer is terrible for that! And just cutting out altogether, they have the cheek to charge people a fee for that shoddiness 😬

@bookl0ver I don't have iplayer where I live, so I only watch live. Such a shame because Alfie is the worst character right now.

@DoctorWhoSF The quality is far worse especially in writing and the iplayer excuse is what I hear all the time but it’s a bad excuse, TLOU did amazing numbers and in the uk it’s only available through live TV.

@lorrainemking Every time I hear of someone being duped by a con person, especially on For Love or Money (BBC One / iPlayer). I'm yet to watch an episode of For Love or Money where the victim asks the con person why can't family and friends help?

Delighted to watch the terrible 1940 Pride and Prejudice currently on iPlayer and discover that Austen was too hardcore for Hollywood. Mr Collins becomes a librarian because teasing clergymen was banned! They must have had a great union.

@katbrown @biondino @sarabenwell SO EXCITING!!!! Hoping to make iplayer work on the train home - If not we’ll put it on as soon as we’re in. I know this is redundant but GOOD LUCK! X
