Trying to sign in via my StarHub account and all I see is the app being stuck at "Please hold while we connect you with StarHub". This happens both on phone and tablet. Meanwhile, on StarHub box, in order to log in, I need to pass the human test and select certain images. Sadly, the page is not optimized for StarHub box and each time I try to select a specific image with my remote, I can only select the whole box of 9 images. Tech these days is becoming more and more difficult to use!

I am an Unifi customer & device is connected is to the unifi network but yet I cannot use the app despite paying for the service! The error message is we could not identify you, please ensure device connected to unifi network". It is.... I have reset my router, deleted & reinstalled the app & restarted my device all to no avail. BBC player tell me to speak to Unifi & Unifi tell me to speak to BBC Player.......complete shambles!!!!

Dear Samantha Baker, As we outlined in our previous, direct mails to you, this failure "to identify you" is not under the purview of BBC Player. This is a Telekom Malaysia (TM) issue. It is TM who must resolve the infrastructure problem. TM assured us unifi Customer Services were able to field these queries. We have asked TM to look into lapse

Not stable. Keeps shutting down in middle of the show and revert to menu page. Tried on both Xiaomi and Samsung tablets. Same problem. Reinstalling did not help. Also could not download any episode. Keeps getting download error message. Good shows on BBC but the app experience is a real letdown.

Dear Suat Peng Tan, We're sorry for the problems you're experiencing with BBC Player. There are a number of reasons why you might be having these issues - we can't discuss them all here - there is simply not enough space to do that. Please write to us at [email protected] and we can look into ways to resolve together. With regards PlayerOps
