It is mostly BBC iplayer.. I can just live with SD content, but when I view HD it is impossible. I never had an issue with my old V+ box...

The other content, like Ch4 are all SD and again they are like the SD content on the iPlayer and you can get away with it, but yeah I am quite surprised that the OD and iPlayer are being used by two different technology.

I will give VM a call over the weekend as I do not get a chance during the day (hence the late reply), but the way I am getting away with it is to Chromecast the content from my Android or PC to my TV and watch ondemand that way. Always super smooth in HD :)

Yes, there is a continuous programme of upgrades.

Out of curiosity, is there any priority given to areas where there are particular volumes of complaints/congestion is worse? Or purely schedule uplifts depending on the practicalities involved...

Just wondered, that's all. Appreciate an answer may not be possible but no harm trying!! :-)

Generally the worst-affected areas get priority

Have your problems with the BBC i-Player been fixed now? I tried it yesterday and it's fine now, even in HD. :)
