New iPlayer volume control on Samsung TV

Updated BBC iPlayer on our Samsung TV this week and although overall it looks like an improvement they have removed the volume control. The previous volume control was not very good, but removing it means you need to exit iPlayer to adjust the control then go back in. It also means you cannot mute the volume. Think they need to fix this major bug.

Samsung Smart TV - The Good and The Bad

I have now owned a Samsung D6530 LED Smart TV for over 3 months now. I really like the Smart TV option which connects to the internet via my wireless router, here are my views so far with the applications available on the Smart TV option:
1) BBC iPlayer is great, it is the app I use most and works exactly how I want it too, this is so far the best app.
2) You Tube, this is one of the worst apps I have used and it is better to access You Tube from the internet option rather than using the app.
3) Love Film would be good but I decided to cancel the subscription because the choice of films was very limited.

So far the biggest issue I have come across using the Smart TV option is that I need a keyboard for using the internet.

I would like more TV companies like ITV and Channel 4 to bring out apps like iPlayer for the Samsung TVs.
