There are a few others on the BBC forum. I can't find anyone with a solution on the web. BBC tech support email were not helpful. I can see other web pages fine but the iPlayer page (and also the FAQ page ok the iPlayer site) are just black screens. I've deleted cache, history and cookies in Safari to no avail. Frustrating.

DVB-H is not needed. But I'll probably skip Top Gear and watch The Wooly Liberal Half-Hour instead ;) It would be excellent to get live BBC TV over 3G. DVB-H is not needed.
