Nokia N97 and BBC Iplayer issue

Hi all,

I know this might not be a new topic here but please could somebody help me solve this problem. My N97 is from 3 UK with monthly contract. I updated the firmware to v20 and it works like a charm. I also updated BBC Iplayer from the BBC website (App Version 3.5.4, Core Version 2.6.8). Basically it works fine - on both wifi and 3, I can listen to the radios, watch BBC News Channel LIVE (though not very clear). But the problem is I CANNOT watch live VIDEOS of BBC one, two, three, four, cbbc, cbeebies and BBC Parliament! It only shows a grey screen with sounds. I checked the clip details and found that for BBC News the format is MP4V-es while for other channels it is H264. Do other friends have similar problems or do I miss something to configure the handset? Thanks for your help in advance.

If you mean stream live tv the answer is Not on N97 according to the BBC .

I also have the same issue with the grey screen on  live steaming and the BBC site link above does state that you can stream on the N97....

 

Would love to find out a fix before the world cup starts!
