@OT_Expert @OT_rach @BBCiPlayer @All4 @channel5_tv @SouthTees @BBCTees @AdaBurns We do have a contractual issue, which isn't straight forward. There are some things we can do via the company and I asked the team to see what could be done to help right now. Importantly we need to work now to get a better solution for the future!

@chriskimber @BBCiPlayer Surely given the money spent on Sounds, you can work out an algorithm to work like it used to on the old app? Or don't the wishes & wants of the listeners to your smaller stations count anymore?
If there was a huge influx of complaints about this issue, I'd like to see them.

@GretaThunberg @BBCiPlayer @bbcstudios I somehow feel that COVID-19 is nature's response to humans causing climate change - travel related industries and hence emissions are down & food scarcity forces us to eat to live and cuts down waste. Ironically, COVID-19 has helped us rethink climate change

Why are almost all streaming TV apps so hard to navigate? Poor filing in the category browsers. No way to order/filter your watch lists. They make choosing something different a nightmare unless you know what you want.
Fix it @BBCiPlayer @All4 @NOW @NetflixUK @UKTVPlay etc etc.

@BBCiPlayer Thanks for follow up. I should add we had gigabit internet with the fire stick right next to the router. The issue is only with iPlayer and specifically recording rather than live TV. Rebooting the fire stick before using iPlayer lessens the buffering.
