I updated the firmware as in the below link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827853
This worked for me now able to view the full site from DolphinHD. Still dont know how the change the UserAgent in the stock brower though.
I remeber it being about:config on my Desire, but that doesnt work as this is Samsung's Browser and not HTC's.
about:useragent for the stock browser, but it doesn't help with iPlayer.

Ive tried searching around the forums for this question but dont think it came up, was just wandering will it be possible to use BBC Iplayer when my I9000 is upgraded to 2.2? I was reading that it would be available to phones on froyo but will this include the I9000?
Yep, it works fine on my Galaxy S with the Nordic Froyo.
Yep works brilliant. Only with default browser though as BBC doesn't pick up Opera as supported.
Works, they've created a nice mobile theme as well

Works for me on Nordic 2.2 too but Wifi only. Says only 3UK and vodafone contract are allowed to stream over 3g network, I am on vodafone contract tho so thats odd.
Myplayer on the market is a good alternative why you wait for froyo.. Use it all the time for bbc Iplayer
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
mplayer is ok ish but the streams are highly compressed more so then the mobile iplayer versions. It's ok but can't wait for proper iplayer support.
Aye, it works well on 2.2 even over 3G
Wee bit disappointing that you can't download programmes to watch later though

I get this too, I reckon if we change our user agent string to a desktop computer it might work, because I can wifi tether my laptop to my vodafone phone and get iplayer no problem, therefore the sim is definitely capable.

You can change your useragent by typing about:useragent into the stock browser's address bar. Do the same to change back to android agent. I use all the time to see Amazon's proper webpage instead of the mob version. Also works on rude-tube sites ;-)
I am now on 2.2 at last... I have just tried the iplayer site and whatever i do it just keeps.coming back with please download adobe flash player from market. I have followed the lin and got 10.1 flash reloaded the page and everything just keeps saying the same message when trying to watch any show

I've just bought a Galaxy tab, pretty enjoy it since i moved from HTC Desire. However, it pretty annoying when i access a webpage, the Tab's browser always go to Mobile webpage instead of default PC UI page.
=> Anyone know how to disable this feature.

Enter "about:useragent" in the address bar, and select the Desktop user agent.
It doesn't persist though, which is annoying!

Also look at the foot of the web page concerned..... If it can go to Desktop you should see an option named 'Classic'. If so click on it to change from Mobile view to Desktop.
a former iphone zombie here, they had a sbsettings toggle called user agent faker... for android the equiv would be a toggle switch widget on the desktop?... not sure if its out there, been searching though. looking for a persistant toggle..

I can change the user agent, but seems not to be stored. if I enter again in "about:useragent", the "custom" option remains selected.
Or just download Dolphin HD browser,then in the browser,go to settings>Useragent and choose desktop instead of Mobile by default,worked great for me.
Dolphin HD browser + euro firmware did the trick for me.

Using Dolphin HD browser on US T-Mo, agent switched to Desktop and no luck - it would still go to mobile version. Same settings in the same browser on my EVO - no problem - always takes me to a full website. I hope there is some other solution. Otherwise it is very annoying not to be able to see full NY Times site...

Well! Too many of xda member faced this problem. But there is no such probbaly tweak to prevent the Tab access defaut webpage from it's stock browser.
Anybody has found a solution ? It's super annoying not to be able to see the "normal" websites given the form factor of the Tab...
Are you guys talking about the homepage? Or the fact that the stock browser reverts to mobile user agent upon closing? The stock browser will not save user agent settings after being closed. Download a new broswer. Don't rely on stock.

The thing is... why should you have to download a different browser just to be able to view web sites in desktop mode ~ and even then different browsers don't necessarily give you a desktop view.
As an example I have Dolphin HD installed and if you attempt to access either ITVPlayer or the BBC web site you get the mobile version.
sadly, you need to re-do the about:useragent everytime you completely close the browser. Also, on stock UK firmwares (Even JJ7) iPlayer doesn't work even with desktop mode selected. Need to be on JM6 or JMA for the fixed browser.

For those however on the stock ROM it does not work.

Try skyfire.
It works for mine (T-Mobile US version)
if you wants normal desktop browsing try Miren Browser and in the options set the Desktop version( or the ipad version, it works)
however,
some sites (like megavideo) will go further than a User Agent and try to guess if you are really on a desktop or not, to redirect you to some annoying ads and jo-games.com
if you want to avoid that use NetFront Live Browser, it's the best low level changer browser for android so far, you won't be dissapointed and its kind of tablet optimized.

Yes, using it with Opera (OperaToPhone), which uses the ChromeToPhone app on the Droid, but you aren't lumbered with Google's browser on the PC side.

I have seen posts of videos working in Dolphin, Maxthon, stock browser with Flash 10.1, but I have yet to see it work for me. When I click on a flash video, nothing happens.
I am on EB13 (from Samsung.exe update) and rooted with no custom roms. What can I check to get this working?
There should be a setting for Flash in Dolphin. The first time I open Dolphin, it always asks me during the setup if I want Flash on Demand, Always or never. I always put Always because the "On Demand" doesn't seem to work well.
I'd get you the setting in Dolphin but I'm in the process of flashing my phone.
Did you install flash from the market?

I installed flash from the market and flash is enabled in dolphin.
If I go to espn.com (this calls up the mobile site) and scroll down to bottom and click espn.com it will open the full site. If I then click on Sportscenter Videos tab, none of those play.
Can someone test that out as well? Are there other sites where this works so I can test as well?
Thanks in advance!

I don't have a "espn.com" link anywhere on the page that I can find. The last link I have is Sprint.com and no link shows "espn.com".

Dude what are you smokin'? ESPN.com doesn't have a link to Sprint.com???
To the OP: I followed your steps (with no trouble) and also cannot watch the videos on ESPN.com. I tried setting plug-in to ALWAYS and still no video. The website may be detecting the user agent string and disabling flash server side.
EDIT: just went there on my desktop and when I right click on a playing video it says "Disney's Media Player Framework" - this may be the cause of the problem, they are not using standard flash plug in for video.

I don't smoke. I consume edibles and pills. Sometimes I eat the ice cream but it doesn't always taste right. But I don't think you meant that to be a literal question, eh?
Here's a screenshot of ESPN.com when I navigate there through Dolphin HD. Not the greatest quality because I'm grabbing the screen through Droid Explorer video recorder but you can see, plain as day, the Spint.com as the very last link and no espn.com anywhere in that screen.

skyfire renders the flash content on their servers and pushes it over the air to your phone.. it doesn't process it on the phone itself...
Can the Op explain more about what he means regarding Flash for 2.1.. working? It's just that I doubt it.

Sorry, its only than do you say.its possible install on eclar but dont work.
The only 2.1 with working flash was htc sense...
Skyfire has its own video decryption which is why when its buffering it says "this will save you up to 75 percent bandwidth over flash". The flash player should let you view video on some full version sites on stock browser.

The flash player does work for some sites on 2.1 but most mobile sites and most others still wont work even if you install flash 10.1
