We'd like you to join the BBC iPlayer Beta . This email contains everything you need to get started. Please keep it for reference. Also please double-check the BBC iPlayer Terms and Conditions <http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayerbeta/tandc.shtml> you agreed to when you signed up.
Your BBC iPlayer Beta log in
As well as the log in details below, you need to be a bbc.co.uk member (you may already be a member if you're using other services on the bbc.co.uk site). If you haven't registered with bbc.co.uk, we show you how to do this later on.
First step: logging on to the BBC iPlayer Beta website Please wait an hour after the receipt of this email
1. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer <http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer>
2. On the homepage follow the link that says Log in if you have BBC iPlayer Beta log in details
3. You'll then be prompted to enter your BBC iPlayer Beta log in details
Your Username is : xxxxxxxx
Your Password is : xxxxxxxx
We recommend that you tick the Remember my password check box so you don't have to type in these details each time you want to use BBC iPlayer Beta.
You'll now be taken to the BBC iPlayer Beta homepage.
Second Step: Downloading your first programme and installing BBC iPlayer Beta
1. Select a programme you want to download from the BBC iPlayer Beta homepage.

5. You'll then have the option to Run or Save the BBC iPlayer_Setup_exe. Click Run and follow the installation Wizard prompts until you have clicked Finish on the final screen.
6. You will now need to return to the BBC iPlayer website and the BBC iPlayer Library Installation page and press the Refresh button on your Internet Explorer toolbar to continue.
7. A window will appear that says: You are not signed in to BBC iPlayer
* This refers to the bbc.co.uk membership you need to use BBC iPlayer Beta. If you've used bbc.co.uk services before (such as message boards) click on Returning user log in with the details you used to create your bbc.co.uk member account.
* If you're NOT a bbc.co.uk member click New User create account. Registering for bbc.co.uk: the onscreen instructions will take you through the simple process of registering with bbc.co.uk. This gives you access to all bbc.co.uk services such as message boards as well as BBC iPlayer Beta.
8. Once you're signed in (you'll see your member name in the top right part of the BBC iPlayer Beta screen), click on the pink Download button again.
9. The programme will start to download in your BBC iPlayer Library. Keep track of the progress of your download in your Library and as soon as it's finished downloading you'll be able to watch it by clicking the Watch now button beside its title.
