    Shame that with my broadband being throttled it's not a pleasant experience. Best way we can get Dr. Who in HD though :-)

    we actually watched this in my lecture theatre today and the refresh rate seemed poor. Im gunna try it on my PC here as the cmputer they use is a single core 3GHz. Works fine for blu ray and such but the bulk of the decoding is passed onto the GPU for that and im assuming this uses the CPU for the decoding.


    My XFire = Biscuiteer

    Wonder if this will finally cause my tiscali powered freedom2surf connection to die (its getting worse by the day).

    lol - I'll be watching all of my TV between 12am and 7am then (unlimited overnight downloads!). Acxtually, iPlayer lets you download for watching later, doesn't it... have they built a timed download feature into that yet?

    Trust me, I'm a Master of science


    4* from 4.89 average? Rounding fail!

    This could kill your broadband limit though as a 1 hour HD prog is about 1.5 gig.

    Hopefully, this will finally get ISP's to realise that the majority of their customers are now going to be streaming HD content and they will need to remove their download limit.

    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
