    Virgin Media - iPlayer

    I've just read on theregister that iplayer content is now available to Virgin Media customers via the red button. Anyone here tried it? Is it any good?

    The only TV I watch is via iplayer and even then it's not much!

    HEXUS.lifestyle - Headline :: BBC iPlayer now available on Virgin Media : Page - 1/1

    as for whether i've used iPlayer, theres 3 or 4 repeats of the programs i watch on bbc3, so if i miss one i just wait for repeat, so online is no biggie for me.

    Re: Virgin Media - iPlayer

    Wow they went from basically trying to extort money out of the BBC because of the iPlayer, to making a deal with them to provide it.

    Thats pretty cool, and I bet it really eases the congestion on the internet service too, seeing as it will all be sent to the telly instead.
