Live BBC TV on HTC Desire?

firsttimebuyers_2

Is there anyway I can get live BBC TV on my HTC Desire? I've tried via their normal website, however the live TV doesn't seem to 'load' up.

Any suggestions anyone?

TV catchup, if you're on 2.2

Website works too as that phone has flash. You have to be in full desktop version.

The BBC iPlayer works for 'catch-up' TV - ie not live TV. However when I try and use the full bbc website (ie not the mobile version), although it brings up the link for live TV, it doesn't actually load up, it just freezes. Even when I'm on wifi.....

BBC iPlayer app in the Android Market

Unfortunately the iPlayer app has the same problem with the live TV link freezing, and not loading up.

Just tried and have the same problem. Both the iplayer and main site don't load live video.

Annoying.

Shame - I was hoping to watch some sport whilst at work!

Perhaps someone will come up with a solution.....

MyPlayer should do it, though you'll need to locate an earlier version due to:

   When all else fails, read the instructions.

   For the best BBC iPlayer playback experience please ensure you have the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installed on your Android phone or tablet

3. Enjoy. At least it started working fine here on WiFi after I updated to 10.2

As I have the latest version of flash installed I had hoped it would work, but seems not to.

EDIT - just tried it again and now working perfectly on iplayer. How odd.
