iplayer and ps3
Hi all,
Im fairly new to PS3. The internet connection is working and I can get iplayer but when u click to watch a program there is nothing to click on to play it. The screen is mainly black just with bbc tabs at top. Anyone any ideas pls? Thx Pete |

is it just bbc iplayer that has the problem ?
Do you know the speed of your broadband ? Is the PS 3 connected wireless to the router/ modem ? |

How did you access the iPlayer?
If you accessed it through the web browser, then it does not work. I believe this is due to the PS3 having a very basic web browser, without the necessary functionality for iPlayer to work properly. The correct way to access it is to move to the 'TV/Video Services' on the XMB and select it from the dropdown list. If you can't see it, then select the 'My Channels' icon and it should be in there. It may take you through some software updates first. |

Thx Mark and Chris - was a combination of both. Quite a lot of buffering now though even though I'm sorted. Iplayer on my pc is fine and connection is OK! Thx anyway! Pete
