Hi
Just to let you know that those of you who receive tv through Virgin Media can now access Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú programmes via iPlayer through the Virgin Media box. As I missed fridays Gardeners World I am going to watch it later in peace when everyone else is in bed. I know it works as we watched last weeks Dr Who last night.
After a programme has been aired it is on iPlayer for the next 7 days. That is any Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú channel including digital channels. The best thing is you can stop, fast forward, rewind etc just like a video.
Finding this has made my weekend. I didn't set the video while we were on holiday so thought I had missed GW but now I can watch it at my leisure.
Happy viewing

Thanks MP
Have Virgin tv but don't have any 'add-ons' - will have to ask my son if I can do this
I'm a Dr Who fan too again!
Been given tickets to see David Tennant at RSC Stratford later this summer - hope I can make it

Hiya Apple
We don't have any 'add ons' either. If there is a button on your remote that says 'on demand' just press that and then click on the ones you need. My mom hasn't got that button on hers but she can still get it. If you have any trouble I'll do a step by step guide.
Finally watched the Gardeners World from friday, last night and it was great. Could stop when needed to and go back to it.
Wow, tickets to see David Tennant. He is almost as yummy as CB! You must do averything you can to get there - I would. Though I probably wouldn't understand a word of Shakespeare.
Good Luck with eh iPlayer

Hi MaryPoppins
Thanks - I have spoken to my son (since seeing your message) and he said he'd actually used the iPlayer (but never mentioned it to me!!!!) So he can show me. Thanks so much for your offer of a step by step guide. I did Computer Studies on a Morning Study 'O' level programme years ago and passed (how I ask myself!!) I also did RSA word processing and passed that too (very hard to believe!!) but I am just technophobic (is that a word?)
I am so looking forward to seeing David Tennant (just hope I can make it - anticipation is, of course, half the fun!) The tickets are front circle - so I won't need my binoculars!!!!
Thanks again

Can I get an iplayer if I use windows media or do I need to do something else to download it? I would love the chance to watch gardens world when I have missed it which is often because of my job.

Do all those qualifications teach you how to operate the Virgin Media box though? Probably not, so it will have to be back to school!
Front row seats - even better.There's lots of work going on at the theatre at the mo so not sure if the shows are atually there or somewhere else nearby.

Not sure how you get it on the computer but I had just found about about it on Virgin Media TV so thought would share it with everyone else.I'm sure somebody on here knows how to get it on the computer. If you can get it anywhere it is really good. Just like using a video without the hassle of setting it to record. Stop and start when you want, fast forward and rewind.

Hi MP1
You will be proud of me - I can do it now! thanks to you!
Yes, Hamlet is at the Courtyard Theatre - just down the road from the RST and Swan. Although it is a temporary building it is very good. If I am able to go I'll report back via the Potting Shed!

I have accessed both the virgin media iplayer and the one at Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú.co.uk and neither of them list Gardener's World as an accessible programme - much to my disappointment.

I would give it a couple of hours at least, I always watch it later than it was broadcast, they have to remove last weeks one and put on this weeks.

Still having problems picking up Gardener's World . What category is it under? Sorry to be a bore but it would be nice to watch the programme when it suits me.
I have looked for it hours and days after the broadcast.

Go to channels & click on it, click on bbc2, & it's halfway down page 6.

Hi all, yes I have found Gardener's World but not without contacting Virgin Media. They say the proceedure does vary around the country!
I have to go to "catch up TV on demand, select 2(all channels), select 1 (Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú i player), select "Learning", Press the blue button for search, key in GARDEN and hey presto! Up comes Garden's World.
Many thanks to you all for your patience and help, HAPPY GARDENING
Constant
