BBC iPlayer app redirecting to website

[im_iceman]

The help page on the bbc says that it does this for android 3 tablets but doesnt say anything about android 4..

Then when you go to the website it wont let you watch live tv... which is really annoying..

Is everyone else in the uk getting this, or found a workaround?

Use dolphin browser and set to view the desktop site. Works for me.

[EDIT - Haha...dolphin sort of works if I go to the iplay site manually.. although it did keep freezing.. trying stock browser with "request desktop site" checked.. and that works too.]

a couple of questions please

Does it mean that the iPlayer natively only works on Honeycomb but not ICS? I have not updated to ICS yet.

Has anyone managed to get SkyGo working on Sony Tablet S please. I get error 9 and 10 on Honeycomb Wifi model.

The 'Request desktop site' button just changes the user agent and refreshs the current tab you are on.
