Does anyone else find that Gardener's World is not always available straight away to watch via Catch up TV on their Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iPlayer. I never have time to watch it when it is on and cannot record it as something is up with our aerial for normal tv. Whenever I go to watch it, sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not like now. I know where to find it as the older episodes are there and I know I can watch it on my laptop usually but I much prefer to view via the tv. I just wondered if anyone else had the same problem whether it was down to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iplayer or down to my cable provider. If I had an HD tv I could have watched this week's episode in high definition but I don't have a high definition tv so that defeats the purpose.

I have found exactly the same and it's very annoying. I was all ready to watch it this morning with a cup of tea but couldn't find it on catch up TV but could have watched it if I had HD. This has happened once or twice before. It's almost like someone has just forgotten to put it on the list or just forgotten to do whatever they need to do to include it on catch up TV. I hate watching it on my rubbish computer too.

I missed last week's GW, went to watch it on iPlayer via computer and was told insufficient something or other (not very computer literate) although have never had a problem in the past. It was suggested I download programme which I did and IT TOOK FOREVER TO DOWNLOAD. Then when I tried to watch it, speech was out of sync with picture, about 3 minutes too soon, so gave up in frustration !!!!! Nan x

Hi Nan, it's saying you have insufficient bandwidth - in non techincal terms your internest connection is not fast enough. I get this problem too because you need a speed of 3.5Mb and the maximum I can get on my home line is 3.53MB. It usually happens to me at peak internet use times so now I only attempt to watch things on iPlayer late in the evening or during the day when everyone else is out at work so the internet traffic in the area is lower.

Thanks for that Lil - we are on BT as well as it is supposed to be the fastest broadband for our area - huh !!! Will take your advice and try again to watch it "off peak" - maybe now it's no longer half term it may be easier. Nan x

For those having problems viewing i-Player, there is an option to use a lower bandwith version - just click on where it says this beneath the programme information. It's still not perfect and you may still get the message - but just ignore it
I think Gardeners World isn't alwaya available straight away as they have to wait until it's been shown in Wales and/or Scotland, who sometimes have their own programmes at 8.30 on Fridays.

It's on catch up now. I managed to watch it tonight and rather enjoyed it.

Hi everyone,
Here on the continent we have no access to iplayer stuff. Remains a constant source of irritation to us since, a) the bbc are unlikly to sell Gardeners World and most of their other programmes here and, b) we can record the programmes (but sometimes forget!)and then in theory could sell them ourselves to 3rd parties! As if!!!
Can't even enjoy the webcams from Springwatch!
How ridiculous is that?!
Greetings Tulip
