It's the same app as on connected TVs, BluRays, Freesat boxes and I believe YouView. If you hate the app, take that up with the BBC iPlayer team, they are solely responsible for it.
of course you have to ****ing use it!

And it's **** at playing the programme. It's so much better on through Virgin Media itself.

Fast forwarding etc.. is crap. you can only skip 1 minute at a time, and if you push it twice it skips about 10 minutes.

But crucially it's not the "same app" as on Sky is it

B) BBC HD maybe about to relaunch for shows in HD on CBBC, Cbeebies, BBC Three and BBC Four.
C) BBC News HD may launch.

Rumours started by a516 (a516 think A will happen).

Yes, that will be for Wimbledon and Doctor Who in 3D.

They should keep it on and show other programmes in HD, but it can only be temporary surely? as the reason they gave for bbc2hd was cost.
