Your comments make no sense. The whole point of "CATCH UP on demand" is that it is stuff that you haven't recorded.
Yup, this is true, although if you record anything from the non-terrestrial channels, the chances are the programmes are likely to be repeated more than programmes on the BBC, you could simply change your recording priorities. Just a suggestion.
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.
Not really a nonsense suggestion, it is a simple and effective solution to a problem you are having. You can use your PC/Laptop or you can continue to get upset over the way an app works. There are solutions to the problem, you just don't wanna accept it.
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.
It becomes less of a discussion forum when you put forward a very real problem for some people, in the form of a rant, and decide to do do nothing about it. All you have done is moan and belittle other peoples suggestions. Again, not really a discussion. It seems you just want to rant about a problem VM have no control over. You could have put those frustrations in an email asking BBC to improve their iplayer - who knows, yours may have been the complaint that made them investigate the problem. As far as the BBC are concerned, the iplayer is acceptable because not enough people have complained to them directly.

The trouble is though, someone has to buy the rights or Sky will have a monopoly.

OK. Firstly, sorry for swearing.
Secondly, I agree that digital channels programmes are more often repeated, but it's just a bit fidily to re-jig recording priorities.
Also, I agree that it is the fault of the BBC Trust not Virgin but I was never criticising virgin for the iplayer app.
But I fundamentally disagree with your general point about not using the app and use a laptop instead if I don't like it. The way of watching BBC on demand should just be better.
