Yes. Three tries. Have you tried turning off the media server thing in the PS3 base menu? This speeds all online things up a lot.

Yeah, have already done that.

It's still frustratingly slow though.

some website said:
Anthony Rose, head of Online Media Group, BBC Future Media & Technology, has revealed that a PS3 specific version of the popular iPlayer is in the works. With the recent Adobe Flash Player update for the PS3, it is now possible for the BBC Flash Developers to make a PS3-compatible version, through there are some compatibility issues. Some European Gamers are already enjoying BBC channels using the recently released PlayTV tuner for the PlayStation 3, but the new iPlayer will further expand the userbase.

Anthony Rose said:

"We're... working on bringing BBC iPlayer to Sony PS3, but we're not quite there yet as the PS3 uses a slightly older version of Flash which doesn't support some of the features used in our media player, and the very promising Flash 9 update now available on PS3 has some compatibility issues.
Cool - not long now then.

Yes I know but it's far from optimal. When it's fully supported it is going to be excellent.
