What I want to know is what time BBC iPlayer will go live on October 30th?

Doesn't really matter - you'll be able to catch up Wink

Sky's undelete function doesn't appear to have a time limit. I've been using the feature for about a month now, and haven't seen anything disappear from the list of available recordings.

I can vouch for the fact that it permanently deleted stuff in the "delete" section when my box needed to free up space for recordings.

Boom! Boom! Very Happy

But I want to get on it straightaway and see what it's like. One of the good things about On Demand was today when I record Sunday Supplement on Sky Sports. Turned up in the catch up section earlier this evening without commercials,so just deleted my recording and watched that one instead.

I honestly thing On Demand on Sky could add several hundred thousand to BARB viewing figures.

I'm pretty sure more people will use bbc iplayer as we can watch on a tv, rather than huddling round a laptop.

One thing that I haven't quite worked out yet, on the sky iPad app, why do I need to scroll left from now - it won't let me select a catchup programme, so seems pointless

Well the press release is out but no iPlayer on my box yet. Phased rollout perhaps? And I'm using ITV Player more on Sky than I have on the computer, I plan to do the same with iPlayer.

What are your thoughts about iPlayer?

Reasonable. Still missing a fair bit of stuff. It'll take 7 days to be up to capacity IMO.

It's fairly well stocked. It's been building up nicely over the last few weeks, although admittedly there isn't yet quite as much as with the on-line version.

Thought this was supposed to be available to non sky subscribers too? Still just an error about not having the sky+ entitlement as we're not subscribed. It recognises being plugged into the network, but no iPlayer...
