    According to the News the BBC have had big problems with system failures on iPLayer, but all is supposed to be fixed now?.

    It starts the download Ok, but never gets to the "Available" stage. I tried downloading the Chris Hoy documentary from both BBC One HD and BBC One channels. Both failed.

    When looking at the Failed recording information it reports "Failed Rec: Subscription needed".

    What subscription?

    I tested a 4oD download and that was fine.

    Glad it wasn't just me.

    There is no programming on BBC One due to Commonwealth Games coverage. Some shows will be listed as BBC Two.

    As above, there are no programs on BBC1 (or very few), due to Commonwealth Games coverage, most things have been moved to BBC2.

    I cant fathom out why the commonwealth games are not available on the Iplayer via Sky but are via their app and connected TVs but not in HQ but fuzzy vision only.

    Have you tried asking the BBC?.

    Its likely to be rights as the sky service is a progressive download and the others stream.

    BBC iPlayer on a Sky box seems incomplete. Much easier to fire it at the TV from a tablet. Very irritating though!

    Again, ask the BBC about it :D

    I've noticed very recently that, despite months of it being fine, there's now an issue again with content not being added. Last week's episodes of Dragons' Den and Gardeners' World never appeared, and last night's episode of the latter isn't there yet.

    Like I said back in post #2, the BBC had a major iPlayer failure (it was on the news), it could well still be a problem from that?.

    Hi all. Is there still an issue with missing content? Things like In The Club seem to be missing but are fine on phone and TV.

    They do not have the 1200 different versions of each programme that the BBC iPlayer provides......
    But please log the missing programmes with the BBC ..... They cannot have the staff to check absolutely every thing ,,,

    Use the " contact us "on http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/tv/programme_latest_issues

    Yeah, we seem to have gone back to the old days where content just never appears on the Sky platform. The last two episodes of Dragons' Den and Gardeners' World never materialised. Death in Paradise from Monday and In the Club from last night are missing.

    Just very unreliable indeed at the moment.
