Hello listers,
I've solved the I-Player problem by meddling around in the Flash player
manager, and then re-running Alasdair's programmes; both v.3 and v.4 beta
now work. Quit how I've changed things, I'm far from sure, but at least it
works. Also Windows Firewall popped and I was able to unblock the path to
i-player/radio. Hardly scientific, but luck prevailed. V.4 beta is well
worth a look at so that we can enable Alasdair to update his programmes if
we are happy with the new version.
Hth,
Mikeup

Hi,
You can only play items from the BBC Accessible Iplayer if you either use
Mazilla Firefox or IE as your default web client.
You might also find that you can only see radio programmes via the BBC TV
Accessible Iplayer as the BBC changed their access a while ago.
What you have to do is use the BBC TV Accessible Iplayer and then choose
either comedy, drama to see programmes that will be heard on the radio.
If you want to visit say Northern Ireland programmes, you need to do this as
above.
Hope this helps.
