Sony Bravia iPlayer - incorrectly traffic shaped?

I find it runs fine just before 6pm. Last 2 days I've set a high def programme running at 17.50. Buffering begins at 18.01 and from then on the iPLayer is unusable.
iPlayer on the PC is running fine at all times.
Is this yet another traffic signature issue with traffic shaping?
Ticket has been raised #35145514. Not a lot of action yet. Confirmed that pc iplayer traffic is classified as 0x80 using wireshark
Anyone else seeing Bravia iPlayer issues?

Its HTTP rather than RTMP and is classed as Differentiated Services Field: 0x60.
please see http://www.ianccole.plus.com/files/sony.pcap for the capture.
Can someone Please help me out here? The bandwidth is definitely throttled after 18.00 such that playback is unusable.
Thanks

I've picked up your ticket and passed it over to be reclassified, so this should solve the issue for you.

Thanks for that - as mentioned on the ticket, I've added a fuller capture that didn't truncate the http payload. I'm guessing that the payload is not required though.
Its at http://www.ianccole.plus.com/files/sonyFull.pcap
@Ben Plan B - sounds like a bad B movie. I'll take a look - but I'm with Jim - sounds like a classification issue.
Cheers,
Ian

Plan B may definitely be making things worse, but this is only because it appears to be mis-classified in the first place.

Blimey - buy a hard drive recorder and free up some bandwidth.
Nothing on but crap anyway.
Well done PN

oooh you
I know what you're insinuating but let's face it most of the video technologies have been driven by "adult special interest sites". The internet is built on and funded by porn - or it used to be, certainly helped push it forward to what we have today. Even Microsft realised it wehn they introduced private browsing so your wife couldn't see what you'd ordered for her birthday (so the advert went) yeah right.
Anyway, Ian is right I should not post my nonsense in his serious post - sorry fella.
Good luck with the TV.

Thanks. Truth is - Sony have sold these since Jan with the lure of iPlayer. Only now in Sep have they delivered. Hooray I thought - this works really well. Sat down with SWMBO in the evening only to see very different results. Further tests revealed that buffering began at precisely 18:01 each night. Not a coincidence I thought.
Looking forward to that fix.
By the way - my comments were tongue in cheek
Ian
