BBC iplayer has changed it's lay out, it used to be dead easy for us none IT people, you saw a programme you wanted to watch clicked on it and watched it, now you have loads of teenage guff before you can work out the tv you wanted. As for the other channels....... all i want is to watch tv on line not have a magazine that I have to trawl through just so I can watch Waterloo Road.
Mini rant over.

Haven't tried the new layout as there is fuck all worth watching anyway, but I never liked the old one. As long as the volume still goes up to 11 I'm happy.

I'm an IT person and hate the new layout, it is crap compared to the old one.

It's a bit more effort but when I'm doing more than one thing at once I just open two windows and shrink iplayer right down until it's pretty much a pop out anyway.

Also I prefer this view, it's easier to see the 'categories' button which you can use to take you to films, it took me so long to find the films on the old layout!

I've been using it since it started on Beta. The old one was better but companies always change things. Speaking of which I'm not looking forward to Fire fox 4. Rolling Eyes
