When I navigate to a video, the page loads, and briefly the outline of the embedded flash player appears, before the area goes black (ie the same colour as the webpage background).  If I scroll the webpage, the image of the unstarted player appears in the top right of the screen, but shifted slightly left out of the page boundary.

PS - I have very little hope of getting a response as no-one else who
has asked about this over the past 6 months has ever had a reply. I
have a feeling that Iplayer and Mythnetvision could well be
abandonware.
