Re: BBC Iplayer and broadband usage.

Hi

Since having dads thing out to try 6 weeks ago, that first day, went into the menu, others (I guess) and did the check for updates, it found and did, then the same week again. nothing yesterday 5 weeks on but maybe the update fixed the iplayer saying SD but is not. The just under 2Gb is 1 hours as people say. My 40Gb a month gone in 20 hours but thats why I have a freeview recorder!.
Dont use much so not a problem.

Check for firmware updates. Does not take long if installing it when it does a few minures at most then turns off then on again or you know when it is done. Says something on the display.

Easy.
just a guess and proberly wrong but latest stuff on it must sort out something, You are not told what just a new version availiable.

What I did anyway, I check the blueray player and telly every now and then as well.
Mine dont bring anything up now as 2010 range and they loose interest or fix it all.

what you just bought and dads being newer bluray recorder/freeview thing I found 2 updates in Jan so a thought.

Hello

Andrew wrote this bit on the zen story, top of the list at the moment.

Zen highlights that its cheapest product with a 20 GB download allowance can play around 60 hours of BBC iPlayer content at standard definition quality level, we should point out that many embedded versions of iPlayer will opt for the best quality level a connection will support, and at its highest quality level BBC iPlayer will use around 2 GB an hour.

So does the panasonic thing take no notice of the settings in the veria cast iplayer and go for Hd if it can.

Got dads telly and the thing you have as well going.
He never will do much of the interactive things or iplayer so the 40Gb he has I think is ok.
A few programs a months, is ok for him

Lets hope your new internet goes ok. Still 2Gb for 1 hours seems a lot but normal so I was wrong.

I remember some internet providers having a 2Gb a month allowance, was some time ago before the faster speeds, we all had uoto 8Mb ( or most of use including me or stuck on 56k dial up). 2Gb is a bit weedy now.

I get 7Gb on a good month and dont do much telly stuff if any some months.
