BBC iPlayer Wii demo

[nosgothgbr]

Is there no full screen mode?

[Leven2e]

@nosgothgbr this vid is obsolete,since wii has its dedicated iBBC Player channel

[DoctorAdamandDAWGfan]

doctor who rules good choice for demostrating

[supervideo95]

es solo en estados unidos?

[Emexrulsier]

Iplayer used to be pants on the wii when it just used the portal page via the opera broswer. You would get low quality, low frame rate streams which were only just watchable. Since though the actual Iplayer channel was released the improvements are no perfect and more inline with watching it on a pc.

(I don't use still cause of having V+ in the same room)

[theuploaddudes99]

its great on ps3 as i had no problem with dont get screwed

Im sooooooooooo getting it

[aberyf]

what is the BBC iPlayer used for?

[MetalingusRift]

To watch BBC TV shows pretty much.

[EpicPlaythroughs]

There is a new channel for the wii coming out exclusive to Iplayer, for UK wii owners only, so there is no longer any need to go onto the internet channel to use the Iplayer.

[jimbob150555]

They should bring out a browser for 360, but knowing them they would charge for it.

[VortexOfTime2]

Stingy Bastards, Get a PS3 as you watch anything with the Browser

[dodoegg1]

Thats exactly what happened. As BBC is a non-fee organisation they refuse to put it on xbox live gold because of the subscription fee. An easy solution would be to just put it on xbox silver.

[jimbob150555]

Yup heard on the news that 360 wanted iplayer for Gold membership only, BBC wont budge on allowing a charge for their service (something I actually like about BBC 'thought the day would never happen').

Its ridiculous that Microsoft would rather ditch something, than allow free usage of a service.

[dodoegg1]

I agree. But somehow Microsoft made its billions on ridiculous business practices. "Cutting off the nose to spite the face" springs to mind.

[gulam82]

is the a channal for the iplayer or dp you need the internet channal to use it?

[bill2893]

it woeks

but it is INCREDIBLY slow

but that might just be my connection

[LightYagmi27]

i love the bbc iplayer on my wii,its never lagged or anything like that, and it means i defiantly dont miss anything, because half the time i cannot get to my PC

[Mozzyeon]

the wii is supposed to get its own BBC iplayer channel this year which would be more useful than going to the internet channel.

[oscarnswe]

It doesn't work!

[anguswuu]

do you have to pay more to install the internet channle or does it cost nothing?

[aberyf]

its free now for the wii

[niallswand]

why wont it work anymore?

[supercyborg1994]

how do u get the Beta version? every time i load BBC iPLayer, it comes in normal Computer version

[gtas123]

id rather play on youtube xD

[GerardD102]

takes ages for mine to load on the wii :S

[Timmzy11]

you know, if you press 1 on the wii remote, it minimizes the toolbar at bottom, if you knew that did you just forget.

[TheSaintST1]

Excellent idea, but has a dedicated channel been made available for this yet. I'd personally like to just click on a button that sends me straight to iPlayer or 4od and just select programmes that way rather than type in a URL.

[NorthenMonkey92]

looks good but u should be able 2 full screen it like on a computer and not have 2 fiddle about with screen

[elCroux]

No full-screen option?! That's utterly insane.

[lewys93]

It's in beta, so there probably will eventually be a full-screen option, if the dedicated channel doesn't come out first :p

[vandreadparty]

love the use of the first doctor who ep of the new season

[LeoXV78]

hiihoo
