I noticed earlier that iPlayer is now available on VieraCast with the DMR-BWT800 though not on the Viera TV set. No idea when it was added as not bothered looking at VieraCast much as little else of any interest there.

Is there any way of recording something from Vieracast either on the DMR-BWT800 itself or the hard disc connected to the Viera TV itself?

Iplayer has been on these recorders for ages and apart from a few early TV's has always been on TV's . Unfortunately you cant record it to your recorder .

Not shown on my PVR previously when I have had a look to see if anything new.

The Viera is the TX-L42D25BA, does not show iPlayer in the list on VieraCast.
