Re: BBC iplayer problem
Tell me about it, I did call retentions a while back when I was paying even more.
Currently on Full House (XL) TV, Vivid 200 BB and one phone line on Talk more Int.
One V6 box and one earlier TiVo box.

Obviously your best bet now is to wait until the end of your contract and tell them you are leaving as you have found better deals elsewhere , That usually work for us and that way its up to them to offer you a much better deal then you have currently got.
How long have you got left on your contract?

Obviously if they raise their prices which they usually do in the few months then you have the option of cancelling your contract and taking it from there.

£131 does seem a heck of an amount for that.
I'm on almost identical package - Full House (XL) TV, Vivid 200 BB and but with Talk More Anytime, with one V6 box and one TiVo box. Pay £52.50 with Line rental paid upfront, so effectively £71.50. There is £18 of discounts on it, but even taking those off it would come to £89.50. If its right, Talk More Int. sure costs a lot.
btw i find IPlayer on the old Tivo slow to load up, but when it starts streaming it's ok, unlike the old days when it was crap.

My last TiVo would stutter, stop and just give up altogether with the i-Player. I gave up using it in the end.
With the V6, it works perfectly and I use it quite a lot now.

Re: BBC iplayer problem
I don't know if this has been mentioned on here before, but on the iplayer does it now play in SD or HD?
There used to be a button to choose between them but that seems to have gone awhile ago.

It doesn't say, but on most people's it will do something abpve SD, it will do 1080p HD on most material. I think these days iPlayer auto-adapts to the connection speed. The other two BBC apps you can choose between two levels (something like good and best) but I'm not at a TV to check.

Re: BBC iplayer problem
Why does I-player prompt me to login to my account when I try to use catch-up through my V6 box?
This doesn't happen on my sky box.

Re: BBC iplayer problem
You don't have the iPlayer app on the Sky box.
You have download access to some of the iPlayer content - but it is not the app.
