BBC iPlayer

I've got on the beta testing list for the BBC iPlayer, on-demand BBC TV from the past 7 days. The only problem I have with it is the lack of convent but BBC say more will be added as we go though the testing, The time a takes for shows to be available I'm still waiting to get Doctor Who from yesterday, but the main problem I have is the tight DRM on it.


You can download a show that was shown in the past 7 days and keep it for up to 30 days but as soon as you watch it you only have up to 7 days to watch it again. the DRM also stops you using a media extender, such as the Xbox 360, to get the content on the big screen.


Apart from that it's a great idea from the BBC and a good program.
