N96 & BBC i-player

I got my lovely new N96 yesterday but I downloaded bbc iplayer to it this morning had a look at it and went to watch something on it but it told me to switch to WLAN which I did but now when I go back to it it brings up a black background with BBC iplayer along the top but no videos and the only thing you can do is exit so I cant use it at all... does anyone know how I can fix this??? I deleted it and installed it again and its doing the same thing...

Hiya,
Im not sure but i think the problem is to do with the security settings on the wireless router.
I had the same problem with my N96 , on a netgear router, so i disabled the wireless security settings for a moment and the the iplayer worked great. Then when i re enabled the security it just wouldnt work. Now wether this problem lies in the firmware of the phone or the router i do not know, sorry...

I did some research after having issues at my house and there are known issues with some netgear routers (the Sky router was singled out more often than others) especially if you are using WPA security. Check out the Nokia Forums.

Mine seems to have gone right since the v12 firmware upgrade, but cheers for the reply appreciated
