America can get BBC iPlayer HD programmes, Top Gear, Doctor Who, and much more, all on their PS3.

FFS when do we get iPlayer HD on the PS3?

Fucking arse holes.

The BBC is funded in a unique way, you either pay us what we tell you too or you go to fucking jail.

/rant.

you can watch hd... what u talking about?

Go and watch some episodes of the apprentice or something from a few days ago, a button will say "also in hd".

For example im on it now and lookin at the apprentice episode 7 and a button says watch in hd...

[DJ-Daz]

Not on the PS3.
iplayer desktop maybe.

[DJ-Daz]

Just watching The Apprentice, to make sure I didn't get it wrong.

They are going to Pinewood Studios.
One girl asked another, "Whats Pinewood Studio's?", the reply was even worse... "I think it's a furniture studio".

And these people want a 6 figure salary!

LOL it's not unique mate - it's an established business model that has been going for centuries. Another example:

Chill Pill Daz?

Seriously though who cares they get an Americanised version of Top Gear with different presenters (See: Shite!) and we see all the shows months before them big deal they have it in HD I'm sure we aren't far behind.

[Symonator]

go to the link images are to big to post here.

there are other programs like coast and some life episodes in HD, top gear etc.

[theENIGMATRON]

If i recall HD is there. but it runs tests on your line prior.
You need X speed for HD to show!

X being i aint got a clue, but it was in the papers some time ago

[DJ-Daz]

Sorry Auntie.

Fuck it, I'm not sorry.

HD is NOT available to me. Obviously I dont have a 50mbit line, but 20 should be more than enough.

Does anyone else have the HD option?

[DJ-Daz]

Ok last request Sy, press triangle and see if you can copy/paste the link, I'd like to try it myself see if I can fool mine into playing HD regardless.

[DJ-Daz]

I got an email last week after I asked how I could get HD video on the PS3...

Dear Mr Mullen
Reference CAS-440058

Thank you for contacting the BBC iPlayer Support team.
I understand that you would like to view BBC iPlayer content in HD on your Sony PS3.

HD BBC iPlayer content is not yet available on PS3 due to technical limitations however we may be in a position to offer it in future.
Once again thank you for contacting BBC iPlayer.

Kind Regards
