Wimbledon 2022

Again, you can use it on a smartphone or a tablet. If you have a device capable of using Twitter, you have a device capable of using iPlayer. The people who truly can't do anything about it, aren't the ones complaining online.

Just because people can use alternatives it doesn't mean they should have to, and many people complaining aren't doing so selfishly but also thinking about those who can't use the iPlayer for whatever reason.  That's a sign we still have somewhat of a functioning society - people caring about those affected by things that may not affect themselves directly.

And yes, The Great British Sewing Bee may be on iPlayer but Bradford on Duty, postponed from last night, isn't - so that isn't the answer to the overall issue.   Wimbledon absolutely should take priority and the ratings show the benefit of it doing so on BBC1, but the scheduling of other programming needs to be done in a way that conceeds scheduled programmes over these two weeks will always be disrupted.

The BBC trying to make iPlayer happen when frankly it's not ready to do so is creating a situation of haves and have-nots.  Is that right for the BBC to be doing that?  I don't konw how many times I can say it but everyone not has superfast broadband, especially the older generation. My grandparents never had either a smart TV or the Internet. My father and uncle bought them a Freeview capable TV at DSO and that lasted them until they both died. And I pay my television license to watch television, not my phone.
