BBC iPlayer Global

[FrDakota]

Hi!

I downloaded this morning the application and was gladly surprised with the quality of the picture.

I played through WiFi (I live in France) and this afternoon I went to buy the HDMI adapter for iPad.

Unfortunately even though I get the sound, I don't get the picture on the TV, too bad BBC decided it would be an iPad 2 feature (by the FAQ)

I was willing to subscribe, be it really turned me off.

Now I have to wait for iPad 3 if the BBC doesn't change it's tactics, because there's no reason it shouldn't work.

Other Apps like AirPlayer and AirVideo do the job.

Update

Following up the release of BBC iPlayer Global for iPad for still non american countries.

At last the recent versions gave the iPad 1 the TV output on HDMI in 720p.

As an UK user it's pretty nice and I've never tried to use it on a TV. Can try when over on the continent and see if it works.
