Ipad2 and bbc iplayer

Does anybody else have a problem with the bbc iplayer app on the iPad? Whenever I try to watch anything the screen goes black after about 5 mins. You can still here the sound though!

Not me. I usually use it to stream BBC breakfast in the morning and it's fine

Is that using the iPad app or on the website because I do either and I can watch for aprox 5 mins then it goes black?

I use the app. It has been updated recently so you might want to check for updates. But I wonder if there is anything in your settings on your iPad/app that "energy save"?

Still having the same problem. Have just googled the problem and it seems to be quite a common problem according to the apple forum.

On another topic, I have 2 ipad2's in settings one of them says "mobile data" and the other one says "cellular data" both work the same and absolutely fine I just wondered why the difference.

I'd never seen it before but it happened to me yesterday watching on my iPhone using the app. My net connection was a bit patchy the last couple of days, so I wonder if it was that making the picture cut out.
