Now I can batter the iplayer on my PC while my mate uses the wii or his laptop.
This is cracking news!
yeah it gets better....
It's on now!!!!!
Is it free or are they making you pay 500-600 points for the software?
(sorry... BBC blocked here )
well you need the browser, then just go to the iplayer page, no points/downloads needed
you may need to update though
watching the real hustle right now, quality is good but streaming on a 1mb connection sucks lol
Perhaps that means theyve added support for it in the browser quickly and we might get a dedicated channel to it later? Im loving it either way.Early versions of the service will be available from 9 April but more polished software will be released as the service is developed.
When did they decide / dictate that you needed a TV license to use the internet to stream media?An early version of the service is available from 9 April. It is only available in the UK to licence-fee payers.
edit - maybe that's just for the beta version, because according to the normal iplayer terms, you do not need a tv license:

Had a play last night, didn't seem to have a full screen mode but you could zoom in ok. Can't say I'll be using it much as I run my Wii though my computer...
