From: Ian McCall on 26 Jul 2010 16:32 Caz's birthday saw her become the owner of a shiny new WiFI 64Gb iPad. She's very much a fan, but BBC iPlayer doesn't seem to work. We've tried Doctor Who and Top Gear, but all that happens is that the thumbnail comes up but then a 'sorry, this is unavailable' and no play button appears. This seems to be for every programme we try. Anyone else having any luck? Cheers, Ian

There's a non-flash version of the iPlayer site. -- SteveH

Try going to > <http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen/> Hannah's been using this since the day she got her iPad, and it's been fine. The only (minor) problem is that the search is very naive; you have to search using the start of the string and no spaces. So if you're looking for "Bland Saturday Night Entertainment" then searching for "blan" or "bland" will find it, but "bland sat" or "night" will not. So you need to know the exact name of the programme, or at least the exact start of the name... -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm |
