Could a Brit on 3.0.4 do some iPlayer testing for me?

Specifically, can you still play iPlayer HD content really smoothly (3.0.2 outperforms some desktop machines), and has the live stream of BBC channels improved any (this was unwatchably jerky on 3.0.2).

I'm going to have to wait to update as I need a CIFS capable kernel, so would be interested in experiences of others on one of my killer apps in the meantime.

iPlayer HD still works very well and the BBC news live stream still isn't perfect. It can play smoothly but also is gittery and occasionally goes black.

BBC HD works flawlessly! The latest update seems very Impressive

It was always pretty impressive - Doctor Who in HD on a Sunday morning perched by your fry up, what could be finer? But I wanted to ensure that the new update didn't make what was excellent performance on the iPlayer worse.
