Only got as far as the menu system as I'm not in range of a Wi-Fi connection. Looks good though!

Installed yesterday and used in anger last night to watch last weeks Mock the Week.
Plays vids via realplayer, quality is great.
Excellent - this is great for a 1.0 product.
Well done the beeb!

I believe 3 have set this up so you can use it in 3G coverage as well. Their marketing push for the N96 is that it will work across the 3G network - whereas all the other operators will block it.
So any users on 3, should have no problems streaming the content over the 3G/HSDPA network. I streamed a whole episode of Charley Boorman over HSDPA last night and it worked without fault.
Does anyone know if there is a download version planned? Streaming kinda hits a roadblock when the signal goes...

How? I'm in perfect 3 HSPA coverage, but still get the 'WiFi only' popup. And I can't see an option to change the default AP to WiFi.
<edit> Ah, must remember to disable the auto AP setting back to "ask me". Now Real Player is saying "Unable to connect". :-(

Go into RealPlayer > Options > Settings > Streaming > Network. Then make sure that your default AP is the AP you want to use. (i.e. Your mobile provider's APN or your wifi point).
Note: For realplayer, you have to follow this manual process everytime you change connection (i.e. change from 3's APN to your wifi. Which can get a bit annoying!

Yep, running beautifully on the N95 8GB, over HSDPA too!

We're working on making iPlayer content available on as wide a range of devices as possible - see here for more details:
