    Live BBC streaming

    The BBC are experimenting with offering live feeds of their popular TV channels BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and BBC News 24. They're 365Kbps Real Video streams and the quality's great.

    Once these streams go public they'll probably be restricted to UK-based IPs (or international IPs who pay a fee) and some shows will be blocked due to rights issues. (Although pretty much all their radio content is free to anyone who cares to access it, so you never know.) At the moment though the streams appear to be unblocked and open to anyone.

    Enjoy them while you can, they probably won't be around forever.
