Andy - what I think hasn't been made clear is that while you can use
your own internet service to connect the i-player to the web providing
you have the necessary sockets and cables you don't have to do this. it
comes with default dial-up settings pre configured so you can download
software upgreades and access channel 900 for todays audio described
program listing at a cost of one penny per minute. actually unplugging
the telephone cable when you have finished is a good idea as
particularly when accessing channel 900 it isn't clear how to disconnect
from the netgem isp.

Andrew - how would I do this then, given that my 'router' doesn't have
any additional USB ports?

Hi,
This is not possible - you need to download the items directly
onto the IPlayer.

Andrew - You wrote that you just connect it to the phone socket
to do the upgrades - I don't have any wireless connectivity here, would
it be possible to download whatever I need for the IPlayer on to my PC
from the internet, then upload it to the IPlayer?

Hi,
You would need to have a phone extension. The Iplayer
does not have an Ethernet socket - just a phone socket and a USB socket
for connecting it to a wireless card or other accessories. If you had a
router you could do it wirelessly if you had a wireless router and USB
card in the Iplayer, I don't use this however as I just connect it to a
phone socket every few months to do the upgrades on it etc.
Andrew.

Hi all -
I understand that the IPlayer is blind friendly, and can
receive the Audiodescription service, and has an Ethernet connection for
upgrades, and programme guides etc.
Unfortunately, I don't have a phone socket in the same
room as my TV, and My PC is also in another room!
I don't think my PC has an Ethernet socket, but not
sure, as I don't know what these sockets look like, and although I'm on
ADSL, my router doesn't seem to be a router in the conventional sense,
it only has one USB connection for the PC, and no other inputs/outputs.
Does anybody know how I might go about occasionally
connecting the IPlayer to the internet given my circumstances?
Regards
Andy
