Not sure what you mean by public beta - the previous firmware version 1.06.34_V upgrade was picked up by my WDTV live, I didn’t go looking for it.
It was announced as any normal version http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Firmware-Networking/New-Release-WD-TV-Live-Firmware-Version-1-06-34-V-9-24-12/td-p/476140 - nothing to indicate that it was a Beta release…
Anyway i have it iPlayer back now. I’ll be a bit more careful about upgrading in the future.
The 1.06.34_V firmware was pulled by WD due to problems. I was unaware that it included the iPlayer.
Because of the many problems posted regarding that firmware they released a Public Beta 1.06.41_V which also included the iPlayer.
It appears that this public beta firmware is still available from the page above or the link below.

If anybody has already updated to 1.06.43 then you have to edit the ver file in the 1.06.41 with notepad and change the VERSION from VERSION=‘1.06.41_V’ to say VERSION=‘2.06.41_V’ in order to rollback. This is only to fool the player into accepting the old firmware, it will still be the firmware 1.06.41 which is installed. After installing and rebooting the player will say that there is new firmware, you can ignore this.
