Anyone else having problems accessing the BBC website?

Nope.

Edit: Iplayer, yup it's not loading up.

I did have trouble with their weather site when it was snowing. They even switched off some of the functionality, presumably to reduce the loading.

It's fine for me now though.

Actually I lost loads of channels when there was a lot of snow. If there's heavy rain the Sky channels and Dave disappear but when there was snow I lost ITV, C4 and the rest, all I had was BBC1 and 2. :(

Analogue still works though, so much for "progress"... :?

I think we're talking about the website, but yes - digital degrades very differently. However, it's likely that the channels you lose are running at reduced power until the switch-over.

Was a bit odd, every other site was ok but I couldnt get the beeb for about 30 minutes.

Aye yup, my mind went on a tangent. Interesting to know about the reduced power thing-a-me-bob. :)
