I posted recently about the brilliance of the iPlayer and how it had revolutionised my television viewing experience.

Well.

I take it back.

After booting up my laptop today, I opened the iPlayer Download Manager only to find a message suggesting I did not have anything to watch.

Except that is a blatant lie, because I have been quite happily downloading things for the past few weeks. I’ve been storing up some episodes of things so I can watch them all together. To find they have all gone is not exactly what I was hoping for.

There was nothing particularly of value that I have lost, I’m not weeping into my pillows or anything like that, but it is more than a little bothersome.

I will return to my faithful PVR.
