BBC iPlayer Block?

For some time now BBC iplayer radio programs have been labelled 'Not Available' when accessed via my Sony TV and the Blue Ray player in another location, but are available through my computer terminal which seems to point to a Sony problem. BBC iPlayer TV programs appear to load and run ok. Has anyone else noticed this or can shed any light on what is happening here?

exactly the same problem with my Sony Bluray BDS 570 from 20th June 2011 ... TV programmes are available as normal but ALL radio programmes show 'Peogramme not available' so it's a blanket situation not related to a particular programme ... similarly I can access the same radio programmes via my Sony laptop so it is not content related .. so it must be Sony not the BBC .. has there been a Sony software update that has caused it? extremely frustrating having to continuously have my laptop pugged into my TV ...

Well, as of today 23 June 2011, I find the BBC iplayer radio programs have been restored on the Sony system without any explanation.

Hi All

The interface and the files are not always the same from one product to the next, each platform has its own portal with the BBC, so a PC could work and a piece of AV equipment may not, please report amy issues you get on the BBC forum, they can best answer why the service is not available.
