BBC iPlayer & N95: Update 12:42pm on 18 Oct 2008 Postgate: This simply does not stack up as an argument, justification, reason or anything else. I have a N95 8GB on three with version 21 firmware. I am running iplayer 1.5 perfectly well - all fine except the saving and playing of downloaded programmes. Streaming play back works perfectly over wifi and 3g. I am able to download shows over wifi but not save and hence play them back due to the drm restrictions. This, to me, makes no sense. I am able to record bbc programming from the tv and keep and watch it back indefinitely. I have paid for it. Let me download shows to my n95! The point about data usage is mixed up - if i wanted to i could use my 'unlimited' 3g data allowance up by streaming iplayer to my phone. I've made no hacks at all. Simply add a warning/disclaimer as other applictions do saying that users may incur high charges if they stream over 3g. It really isn't that hard! Incidently, there is a application you can use on symbian devices to automatically select the most appropriate access point (3g or wifi's) which i use with real player. This makes it much easier when switching from a wifi environment to a 3g environment and means you don't have to manually change the access point in real player each time. Easy.
