I've used the cable iplayer a bit now. I like it. It has a couple of faults, but it's good.

I think that the menu is a bit limited. It's good having a category based menu, but it's not always clear which category a programme is in (some could go in two or three categories), so it would be nice to select a programme another way (such as day/time).

I also think that the back button could be implemented. I like the way that on OnDemand, you can always go back to the previous menu. It's handy if you want to see several programmes. iPlayer seems to do nothing if you press Back (at least while a programme is playing) and throws you back to TV if you hit TV..

Also, I've noticed that the colours on the content of iPlayer are darker. Almost as if someone has applied a filter to make the content look like film.
