I pay my TV license - as we have no digital aereial we use BBC Iplayer.... so all the family round on the most happiest day of the year - what does BBC do? Fucking crash!!!!!

I'm not paying for this shit, it's ruined everybody's afternoon. Yeah sure we were winning, but to sit for 90 minutes and not be able to see the last 5 - am fucking fuming.

Our internet is fine btw - it's fucking iPlayer.

Get a grip.

foxessocks · 07/07/2018 17:14

Happened here too. It did put a dampener on things I must admit Angry

'the most happiest day of the year' - like a pp said, get a grip Hmm

sexnotgender · 07/07/2018 17:18

YABU, get a grip.

Lazypuppy · 07/07/2018 17:21

The tv licence isn't just for the bbc

Glumglowworm · 07/07/2018 17:21

Relax. It’s a game of football that other people are playing.

I’d hazard a guess that iplayer couldn’t cope with the increased viewer numbers. Which is crap yes. But that’s why we have actual tv as well.

If this is the happiest day of your year then I feel sorry for you and hope the rest of your year is better than the first half was.

What else is the tv licence for?Blush

LoniceraJaponica · 07/07/2018 17:23

OH was annoyed about iPlayer crashing as well.

HollowTalk · 07/07/2018 17:23

Over 90% of the licence money is spent on the BBC, @Lazypuppy.

MysticFlyTrap · 07/07/2018 17:23

Tv licence is outdated, outrageous and all the other channels cope fine with advertising. Wouldn't mind them just advertising as I could skip the breaks with my sky box anyway of recorded !

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 07/07/2018 17:24

I lost the last 5 mins too.

Iown5pairsofDocMartens · 07/07/2018 17:25

Why are people saying get a grip?

If you paid for a cinema ticket and you didn't get to see the end you'd be pissed!
She has every right to be annoyed !

Shumpalumpa · 07/07/2018 17:25

Were there no other websites showing it?

haribosmarties · 07/07/2018 17:25

well... yeah it would do as so many people are gonna be trying to watch it the server will have crashed...
We tried to put it on to re watch some of it we had missed (have a newborn that needed our attention) and saw it had crashed... loads of people will have just been trying to use it at the same time. Happens with all websites not just the BBC... you cant really blame them its not their fault, its like phonelines on new years eve... to be expected really

Iown5pairsofDocMartens · 07/07/2018 17:25

Plus it seems she had people round to watch the match I'd be fuming!

haribosmarties · 07/07/2018 17:27

M&S website always crashes on the first day of its sale etc
Its not the actual companies fault, its just a sudden high volume of users.. theres not a lot can be done about it

DarklyDreamingDexter · 07/07/2018 17:27

Ditto! Thought it was my wifi struggling, since I'm in the garden.

RunMummyRun68 · 07/07/2018 17:28

Grin'fuming'

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 07/07/2018 17:29

You missed the crowd singing God save the queen. That’s it.

Lazypuppy · 07/07/2018 17:31

@HollowTalk yeah the bbc get the money but you have to have the licence to watch all channels so its not just about bbc

wrenika · 07/07/2018 17:32

Get a grip...it's a game.

LoniceraJaponica · 07/07/2018 17:33

OH is setting all the recorders in the house for Wednesday.

longwayoff · 07/07/2018 17:36

The bbc licence fee. That's it.
