Default BBC iPlayer problems?

Funny you should say this, as the other evening, I decided to listen to
the Torchwood radio plays from R4, and the last two of them showed
exactly te effect you described toward the end of the items, indeed the
final one gave up completely during the closing announcements.


FWIW My ISP is investigating as they've had a number of reports similar to
our experiences, but at present my diagnosis seems plausible. No idea if
this means the problem will clear up once 'Wimbledon' vanishes from the
iPlayer, though. Hope so - but if it does, what does that imply about when
we have other popular events?

Your report is interesting as - IIUC - you were using the 'Real' streams
whereas I am using aac.

BTW The problem also seems to evaporate around 6pm as well as being absent
before about 9am. Rather a marked correlation with 'working day'.

Slainte,

Jim
