BBC iPlayer search now covers all on-demand content
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV If you are on the BBC iPlayer and use the search box, you can now see content from ITV, Channel 4 and FIVE as well.
Missed The Gadget Show on Channel 5 perhaps? Or you missed Dispatches on Channel 4? Or Emmerdale on ITV1?
Well, iPlayer lists them all now.

Mark Aberfan Aerials: I presume that's "version 3" of the iPlayer system?

Hi Brian,
I don't know what version it is but I'm sure its different to the version on the foxsat. Is there a way I can find out what version it is ?

Mark Aberfan Aerials: From memory, the "version 3" software has the central scrolling area. I'm sure there must be a key sequence...

Hi Brian,
Yes it does have a central scrolling area & so does the foxsat version, maybe the processor is faster on the bt box or it might be the bt box is directly connected to the homehub & the foxsat is via homeplugs

Mark Aberfan Aerials: The code for V.3 is certainly a lot more complicated than V.2.

Since changeover, my Wharfedale set top box has channels listed as BBC1-1,BBC2-2,ITV1-3 etc but also BBC 1-801, 802, 803 etc. When I set to record it sometimes defaults to 800s and the recordings are unwatchable. Can't manually tune and missing lots of series because of this. Seems pretty intermitent but particularly bad if I record BBC3 or ITV2?

Deb Marshall: Please see Digital Region Overlap | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - but you should first do this My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice

Whenever I watch catchup pr0grammes; I.T.V. or B.B.C. for example, the programmes simply stop working and continually need to be refreshed, why?

Further to that said by StevensOnln1, what is your actual broadband speed? If it is too slow the service will keep buffering (stoping and restarting) as the data is not being delivered quickly enough for clear uninterupted viewing. For Sd it needs to be at least 4 Mbps and for HD it should ideally be at least 8 Mbps.

MikeP: Thats an excellent point - the buffering would really mess things up, if its a really slow line.
The other thing that it could be is old software - apps do get a bit old and stop working properly, plus the settings could be up the spout.
BTW - why so much spam suddenly? There's loads of it.

I've too have noticed that the Winter Hill page has loads of childish rubbish and so have a few others. Perhaps the fools this they look 'smart' when all it does is make them, whoever they are, look idiotic. Wo we have to look past it and see what real problem people are asking help for.
Broadband speed is a really serious issue in some area, which make the Sky idea of eventually move to internet only a daft one currently. As most can get Freeview or Freesat and Sky is available in most areas for a fee, it seems daft to me to move to a platform that has more serious problems, Whwrw I used to live in a rural hamlet we got 2 Mbps at best and that is too slow for SD and that is by no means unusual in rural areas as well as some urban locations too. Only when the USO of at least 10 Mbps is available to everyone, not just those who currently use the internet will it become feasible to deliver TV programmes via broadband.

Most of it is offensive rubbish and of no relationship to this website so I hope Briantist will delete all of it soon.
