However still no good news on the Wii compatability; selecting recent programs just says "That doesnt appear to be working. Please try later".

One step forward, one step back.

Back working again. Still the crunchy low frame rate but if you want to watch something you've missed then it's better than nothing.

Radio programmes now also playing through the Wii !

I hope this is a sign that the BBC are serious about "iPlayer through the TV" (now we just need a workable UI from the sofa distance, otherwise *defaced - Creative Design Blog » WiiPlayer, the better way to view the BBC iPlayer.)

Still very much unusable from my Wii My reason is my broadband speed though I think, as most things including Youtube and other video services buffer after about 5 mins for 3 seconds of play time haha!

wow I tried BBC Iplayer on my wii today and with my broadband back upto speed, had no issues at all with the buffering... Run smooth as you like. Only thing I noticed, I think the resolution needs correcting a little more, the pixels were still a little too blocky to watch a full program in my opinion.

The only thing keeping it from being viewed on my tv presently as well...
