Can't Seem To Be Able To Watch The Watchers... ;)

Marv02

Hi,

Not sure if its just me, but I've been waiting 4 days now to watch last weeks Watch Dog. I keep getting the message:

"Sorry, this programme is not available to watch again here but is currently available on these devices: Selected wi-fi/3G enabled mobile phones."

Even though it still says its available to watch for 4 more days, it doesn't allow me to when I click it. I don't understand why this is happening, as its never happened before. Can anyone confirm if they are able to watch the episode?

Thanks!

I get the same as you, and it is probably a technical (or maybe even legal?) problem. Very occasionally I can't Listen Again to a Radio 3 programme using iPlayer, maybe even beyond the seven-day deadline.

If you're talking about the one on airport parking and PCworld tech guys from last week I was able to watch it on iplayer Friday? have you tried navigating to it from within iplayer? maybe a broken link on the watchdog page?

EDIT: just checked and seems not to work either way now, guess BBC must have explicitly pulled it.....

Good to have a MythTV box and not relying on the iPlayer

Damn! This sucks! I really wanted to watch this episode... Do you have a copy of it? Or anywhere else I could watch it?

It's still there for me. Still not for you?

Yes, I still have a copy, but I've just seen that it is available on iPlayer now.

Edit: ... and they show it again on BBC tonight 1:50am

OK, thanks guys but it started to randomly work now. I guess it was just a server side problem. Thanks again!
