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.

**** me, how can you not swear when there's such idiotic behaviour on here.
Your comments make no sense. The whole point of "CATCH UP on demand" is that it is stuff that you haven't recorded.
The whole point of it being on the box is so you don't mess with a laptop or PC. That's just a nonsense suggestion.
As for telling me to go to the BBC to complain, what is the point of a discussion forum? As if I would make the BBC Trust change anything. The BBC as a whole is shoddily run.

Exactly, and setting to HD results in a second bout of "silver circle" (ok only for a few seconds but still).
Also a major flaw for me is the frame rate isn't up to scratch, so you get a jumpier picture. It's ok for drama but sport is a no go.

Why, when they are shown on BBC 1 and BBC 2 which are already simulcast in hd?

Now you're making me laugh.
You can't have HD and 3D broadcast on the same channel. You are aware of that?
