Two ways of using iPlayer:
1 Download. This uses Kontiki, same system as Channel 4.
You have to
install some software. You download and watch in Windows
Media Player.
2 Flash, online. No download. You should (in Internet
Explorer) be
able to tab around the page. Here's some of the details:
There are several ways to get to the programmes. Tab about
seventeen
times and you'll get to a search box. Type the name of the
programme
(e.g. "Ashes to Ashes") and hit return.
The results page loads. These are in a random order. Tab
seventeen
times to the search box again, then once more to a button
labelled
"Find Programmes", then once more and you're in the
results entries.
Each entry has a link followed by another garbage link.
Tab until you
get to the programme you were seeking. Hit return.
The page with the programme now loads. It has a big Flash
video that
shows the programme, which is again just after the search
box
seventeen nineteen tabs in. Tab eighteen times until you
get to the
"Find programmes" link and once more to a button. This is
the Flash
video. Hit return and it should start playing. Tab around
a couple
more times and you should find play, stop and volume
controls.
Phew!

Hello darren,
You need to go onto the BBC site to the Contact Us link
and
make a complaint.
I have tried to find any means of streaming programs
from
the last 7 days but had no success. Apparently, you have
to
be able to see a graphic to be able to use it. However,
whatever you need to do, it's nowhere near reasonably
accessible and would not meet any kind of W3C standards.
John.
