I have to say my own experience with the iPlayer in its various forms has not been wholly positive either. My sense from a bit of internet proddery over the years is that it's not a very well received bit of software.
The "favourite" option never worked for me and searching is a bit hit and miss. I've not had problems with it stalling or anything, but I have fallen foul of the bonkers "rights" issues that exist.
That might not be their fault, but it is pretty odd when, for example, i can pull up the iPlayer page in Safari on the iPad and listen to a radio programme, but if I pull up the iPlayer app on the same iPad it tells me not that there are rights issues, but in fact that the programme doesn't exist at all.
The whole thing is a bit wearisome.
Luckily for us, most of the stuff we want to see on BBC (and other channels) catchup is provided on the TV via the Virgin box, which is a pretty good interface and quite quick.
