BT Vision iPlayer Rollout Tally

Andi Gasking · 10-04-2011, 21:46

Given the amount of demand for this service and BT's lack of communication supporting it, I think it would be useful if users were able to make a post here once they notice that their Service is activated, stating which excahnge they are using, so that other users may benefit.

Feel free to post away!

Stalybridge..been active a couple of weeks now, works flawlessly

stewM · 10-04-2011, 22:27

Isn't the rollout based on box serial number?

I just checked if bbciplayer was here in kilmarnock, and it is not sure when it arrvied here, as i never got a letter nor a phone call.

Andi Gasking · 12-04-2011, 16:48

It's actually a by exchange rollout according to a techie at BT.

allybalder · 12-04-2011, 17:54

Just bought a Sony KDL32EX724U - £699 from a Sony Centre - with iPlayer included of course
Bring it home and find iPlayer available on BTV!!
Balmoral Exchange - Belfast - no notification from BT yet!!

Blanco Notre · 12-04-2011, 23:31

BBC i Player working in the Edinburgh area, friends were watching it tonight.

I can confirm that's the case too.

alanb123 · 13-04-2011, 10:00

Still not got ipkayer or BTinfinity. Am in London working off Crystal Palace transmitter. Would have thought London was one of the first places to get any innovations by BT. Am on LNPOP exchange in E3 and no sign of anything !!!!!

pete1 · 13-04-2011, 20:36

Here in West Drayton I noticed I-player on BT Vision had appeared yesterday, just after watching 'Lead Balloon' on my Sony Blu-Ray!

mac24uk · 13-04-2011, 22:56

Just came back from holiday and BBC Iplayer is now on my vision looks good so far. Also had answer message saying I was one of the first to enjoy it!!

Andi Gasking · 13-04-2011, 23:04

Thanet exchange activated as of 23:00

They presumably have to reconfigure each exchange to send iPlayer traffic to the new BT servers complete with appropriate packet prioritisation. Presumably once this has been done they'll be able to add new services (such as ITV Player) without this delay.

mildredhubble · 14-04-2011, 20:41

Just had an update, now have iPlayer

SW1 · 15-04-2011, 11:09

Got I player in East Ham, London from Crystal Palace transmitter. It says Beta version but works flawlessley.

allybalder · 15-04-2011, 11:17

I think your BT exchange is more relevant to the iPlayer roll out than your transmitter as it is delivered thru your router

Technically true... it depends what server you are off.

swills · 16-04-2011, 04:45

iPlayer doesn't come from Crystal Palace, it comes over the phone line.

Oops! Just noticed Ally has already said all that. The curse of lysdexia. Sorry.

mac24uk · 18-04-2011, 23:01

Since Ive had this update for iplayer I can't rescan the box for new channels it just stays at 0%

I had that once, a reboot fixed it. Can't speak for the iPlayer upgrade, though, as it hasn't arrived here yet.

Says I rebooted twice no luck I will try again tomorrow. The box works fine other than that!!

I guess that if it's by exchange, the smaller ones will be last? (Not knowing what exactly they have to do...). We have a local exchange in our village (Kingsclere in Berks), so I presume the smaller village ones will be bottom of the list.

cheers
