Three Types of People to Fire Immediately - Businessweek via @BW

It all happened and the tapes are currently being processed
for iPlayer and should be available by late this afternoon. BBC R&D has just finishedi encoding the programme before it goes over to the BBC iPlayer team.

How to find it

Here are the details of how to find the Strictly Come Dancing Final in 3D on iPlayer:
Freesat

By Search:

Freesat Higher Quality Option
Select
"Search"
Type in
"Strictly..." (the options should start to appear immediately)
Scroll down
to "Strictly Come Dancing 3D..."
Select the "higher quality" option

On Freesat you must select the "Higher Quality" option. The standard quality
will produce an error message.

Freeview (TVs and Set top Boxes), Virgin TiVo and other
devices

By Search:

Select
"Search"
Type in
"Strictly..." (the options should start to appear immediately)
Scroll down
to "Strictly Come Dancing 3D..."

These devices select the correct option automatically.

Virgin V+

Navigation is through the iPlayer
menu as usual.

Please let us know...

Finally this is the information we are trying to get:

Did the programme play or did it buffer?
If it buffered, was it intermittent (random)
or every few seconds?
Could you put your TV into top/bottom mode?
Did the 3D menus work or where they "greyed"
out?
Was the sound in sync?
If you watched the live programme, how did
the iPlayer 3D compare to the live 3D?

With all feedback, can you let me have the make and model
number of the TV or set top box you have and if it's WiFi or cable connected to
the router. Also if you can, what the average speed of your connection was as
you watched.

Many thanks and Merry Christmas

Andy
