Having this issue on my iPad 2 as well. Can't watch any premium content. Works fine for videos on YouTube.

Yea, sounds like the YouTube and download route is what I'm going to have to do then. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. Now you mention it when GB changed their video quality to 1080p60 and changed their equipment that's around when I started having issues on my iPad.

I am a premium member, I think the silver icon means I pay monthly, not yearly. It is strange though is that I can stream fine if I do it through AirPlay to my Apple TV. I guess the Apple TV can show that quality whereas my iPad struggles?

I'd like to download them but that means basically deleting everything else off my iPad. Some of the sizes are huge. Sounding like their may not be a fix for my particular needs then? I'd be absolutely gutted if that's the case, it will make it a lot more difficult for me to access GB's content with my lifestyle if that's the case :(

Hi, I've been exclusively using this app on my iPad 2 for a good year or 2 now and it's been brill until very recently. Over the last couple of weeks the videos have started freezing. It seems to happen on every video now, the picture freezes but the audio carries on. Sometimes the picture will then accelerate up to the correct time to match where the audio is, sometimes it just stays frozen. Closing the video and opening it back up usually gets it playing again but his only works for 2-5 minutes if I'm lucky.

I've got good internet - 35mb download usually. Everything is updated - apart from my iOS which is stuck at 9.3.5 since I'm using a iPad 2 but this hasn't been a issue before and as far as I know there's been no really recent updates that should have stopped compatibility. I've tried all streaming qualities and all have the same issue unless I select YouTube it works fine but that's no good for premium content and I much prefer the app. The video player on the site is no good either so can't use that. Plus the app keeps track of my played videos, resuming etc. So I really want to keep using it. I've even tried the painful delete and reinstalling option (losing all my watched and part watched info) and that hasn't cured the issue. Any ideas?

I should also point out when using AirPlay to my Apple TV it works fine through the app too.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks
