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[COLOR="Silver"]
There's no need to swear, ocav made a valid point.

You don't have to use it, you can record the programmes. You could also plug a laptop or pc into your telly and use the iplayer online.

I agree that the fast forward option is far from ideal, but this the app we have been given, whether we like it or not.

I personally don't care if the app is different to Sky. If you feel you are missing out on something special, you have the option to change suppliers, although VM may provide the better overall package for you currently.

As ocav rightly points out, you could always contact the BBC and tell them your frustrations with it. You are, of course welcome to air your views on this forum, but no-one will be able make the Iplayer any better.
