BBC iPlayer on PS3
Discussion
Dear BBC,
Why change iPlayer, that worked, for a new version that doesn't?
Why remove the volume function?
Why remove the timer?
Why make it so it constantly buffers, when it didn't before?
Why make it impossible to choose where you can rewind and fast forward to?
Why are you such f
kwits?
Why have I not cancelled my idiot tax with you? Thanks for the reminder,s.

Do what I do - download all the TV shows you want to watch from torrents. They work without any hassle.
I could do, but you still have the hassle of downloading it, which seems a waste when the PS3 has the functionality, supposedly.I don't have a tv, just stream via PS3 to projector....defo cancelling my licence.
Slightly o/t but, tried to watch something on 5demand, a tv show we missed first couple of episodes. Bloody thing wouldnt work through ps3 as it said it had to be played via flashplayer which wont istal on ps3. wtf? I'm sure i've watched things on 5demand before throught the ps3? is this part of the improvements? Have barely used it since the shutdown, this is ridiculous!

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks it's rubbish. It wasn't exactly good before tbh but this is ten times worse. Why cant you just view iplayer through the web? Is there a software problem or something that makes them (the BBC) do it differently on the PS3?
It wasn't great before, but at least it worked! I have 13mb download rate and it still can't cope. Prior to the upgrade it worked seamlessly for 8 months without buffering.Disappointing.
I hope they go back to the old one because this one is st, impossible to rewind back to the right point because it seems to jump completely random amounts of time, and has anyone worked out how to get out of it, used to just be circle, now there doesnt seem to be a way to do it without quitting the whole system.

I noticed that. You can hold down the PS button and tell it to quit, which will take you back to the main PS3 menu. PITA though. t, impossible to rewind back to the right point because it seems to jump completely random amounts of time, and has anyone worked out how to get out of it, used to just be circle, now there doesnt seem to be a way to do it without quitting the whole system.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
