Hmm, could be something temporary at BBC side as no other services are affected. Are you running the latest firmware? It may sort itself out naturally if it's a glitch on their side, otherwise yes do a factory reset and unplug it from the mains for a minute or so to flush everything' just in case it's something on device..

Yes come on Sony, it really only is the iplayer. What is missing is the play icon once you have selected the program. One other thing, half the screen is out of sight, the links are there at the bottom of the screen but it looks like the picture is too big for the screen I am watching on.

The reset has allowed the contente to be attempted to be played however now there is a pop-up 'Unforyuanetly this programme is not currently available. BBC iplayer was unable to connect to the required server. Please check your network connection and try again'

I find this odd as it has clearly conneceted to give me a list of content.
