Hello again.
I'll try iPlayer again and let you know what happens.
I also realised I set my cache to 40mb, not automatic as I first said. Though I imagine a few of you have tried that already.

When I last posted, I had loaded a few programs to try - something about African walks. History cold case. A few episodes of Dr Who and some other random ones.

i did have a couple of glitches on Dr Who, but I later found it only happened when I went full screen in the pop out straight away. Or it was fluke. When I let the show play - as in get past the bbc ad first, then full screened it, it carried on fine.

I'll try experiment a bit more when the management have disappeared!
