Dd had a really bad night on Thursday and I missed "The honourable woman" but thought Ohh it's ok I van catch up on iplayer but the bloody thing has been down all weekend and now although the smart tv app is back up and working it won't let me watch anything that isn't on the highlights page.

Sorry I know it's a first world problem but it's the first thing worth watching since the last season of Sherlock ended!!

Just watched an Arthur. (My secret). Worked ok.

I have the same issue -trying to avoid everything celebrity Masterchef related until I've seen the final!

Not used it as of recent, but what's broken with iPlayer?

londonrach · 21/07/2014 22:01

The radio app was ok on phone for The Archers. I listened to tonight's episode at 9.

ICanSeeTheSun · 21/07/2014 22:08

I have just went to the website via my iPad and it's working fine.

wheresthelight · 21/07/2014 22:08

The app on my iphone isn't working. Desperate cries for Sarah & Duck are going unanswered.

MilkandCereal · 21/07/2014 22:11

The Honourable Woman is working on my Smart Tv. Well so far. I just tested it.

nikki1978 · 21/07/2014 22:14

Iplayer is a pile of shit. It rarely works for me.

Optimist1 · 21/07/2014 22:15

iPlayer was working OK on smart TV at lunchtime, but not now. Problems with the BBC website, too, by the look of it. Hmm...

LoxleyBarrett · 21/07/2014 22:16

I can't get The Archers tonight - evening ruined!

The whole BBC website has been seriously flaky for the last few days. I was all set to grab the OFRS at one point.

NadiaWadia · 21/07/2014 23:06

I presume they have been hacked or something?

Which is a bit alarming. Always used to be THE most solid and reliable website out of those I go on.

AlexandraPeppernose · 21/07/2014 23:16

Couldn't get it at all Sat. We managed to get it through the computer on Sun but still not through xbox or wii. Also I get an error message if I try to get on the main bbc website but if I go to the /news page I can get on it. Tis bizarre.

SistersOfPercy · 21/07/2014 23:39

I do think it depends how you are viewing it. I have three now tv boxes and none will currently play iplayer, however, the smart tv will.

ElephantsNeverForgive · 21/07/2014 23:44

iPlayer is very scrappy here at the best of times, you dade to hit pause it crashes. Very bard to work out if it's the Beeb or our very marginal broadband.

I jest of course. I'd rather scrub the oven.
