    Are you allowed to listen to iPlayer radio?

    I know that TV programmes on iPlayer don't play if you are in Ireland.

    Probably latency problems - what's your Internet Service Provider, and is it a dongle, fixed line, asdl, cable?

    In addition to speed of the internet connection you could try testing your 'ping' and selecting the low bandwith version of the iPlayer.

    You can test your ping here:
    http://www.pingtest.net/

    Its from the same people that do the speed test site.
