I’ve just used that part of Web IE for the first time today. Works very well. 
The only thing I found was that not all programmes started automatically or 
some took longer than others to play. Only mentioning it because on Iplayer 
itself I find programmes start to play within a second or two that I press play 
as I have very fast internet.

  Eleanor, you go into webbie under iplayer TV and enter then arrow down or 
press 
  the letter A.  This should bring up audio described programmes.

  Cheers

  Ron

  Does Webbie automatically bring up audio described?

  Hello all.
  I am concerned with the BBC iPlayer service. I currently rely on this
  until I get a television and a digital box.
  It would appear that the BBC audio describe almost every single live
  program. It also appears that this is not the case on iPlayer. Please,
  why is this, because I don't think it's fair for those who rely on
  iPlayer or simply enjoy catching up for some reason.
  Take care and sorry for the rant.
