Broadcast on iPlayer buffers at the start, with no means of being fixed (10)

I believe the answer is:

inoperably

'with no means of being fixed' is the definition.
(in an inoperable or malfunctioning condition)

'broadcast on iplayer buffers at the start' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'at the start' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'buffers' is 'b'.
'on'+'iplayer'+'b'='oniplayerb'
'oniplayerb' is an anagram of 'INOPERABLY'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
