Adrian - this is very helpful, and as you say, was missing from the info I was
receiving.
Does this mean that the IPlayer has a phone keypad to dial up the Netjem ISP?
How would I be billed for the penny a minute charges; Netjem won't want BT
getting the dosh :]

Andy - what I think hasn't been made clear is that while you can use your own
internet service to connect the i-player to the web providing you have the
necessary sockets and cables you don't have to do this. it comes with default
dial-up settings pre configured so you can download software upgreades and
access channel 900 for todays audio described program listing at a cost of one
penny per minute. actually unplugging the telephone cable when you have
finished is a good idea as particularly when accessing channel 900 it isn't
clear how to disconnect from the netgem isp.

Andrew - how would I do this then, given that my 'router' doesn't have any
additional USB ports?

Hi,
This is not possible - you need to download the items directly onto the
IPlayer.

Andrew - You wrote that you just connect it to the phone socket to do the
upgrades - I don't have any wireless connectivity here, would it be possible to
download whatever I need for the IPlayer on to my PC from the internet, then
upload it to the IPlayer?

Hi,
You would need to have a phone extension. The Iplayer does not have an
Ethernet socket - just a phone socket and a USB socket for connecting it to a
wireless card or other accessories. If you had a router you could do it
wirelessly if you had a wireless router and USB card in the Iplayer, I don't
use this however as I just connect it to a phone socket every few months to do
the upgrades on it etc.
Andrew.

Hi all -
I understand that the IPlayer is blind friendly, and can receive the
Audiodescription service, and has an Ethernet connection for upgrades, and
programme guides etc.
Unfortunately, I don't have a phone socket in the same room as my TV, and
My PC is also in another room!
I don't think my PC has an Ethernet socket, but not sure, as I don't know
what these sockets look like, and although I'm on ADSL, my router doesn't seem
to be a router in the conventional sense, it only has one USB connection for
the PC, and no other inputs/outputs.
Does anybody know how I might go about occasionally connecting the
IPlayer to the internet given my circumstances?
Regards
Andy
