How cool is that??

Would prefer they made it work with 64bit OSs tbh.

iPlayer works with 64 bit Vista?

The Wii thing is cool, but at the same time a little redundant for those of us with the Wii connected to the TV that also has Sky+ heh!

Works with Vista?

On XP64 it just says its not compatable with 64bit Operating Systems.

If I was in the Uk it would work. When was the last time you used it? Since all that they changed it to a flash based affair through your browser thus working in firefox and also version for iphone and touch now.

Not if youve forgotten to record something!!!


Mind you Id prefer 4 on demand - thats loads better.

The thing that gets me here.

The number of people watching these shows without a TV or  TV license.

There is no way to check, there is no way to stop them, yet in a way they are getting a better service than people who have a tv and watch bbc through freeview.

I really think the licence fee should be scrapped, or you need to have an account linked to an address to watch the iplayer.

Tis getting to the point where the only things worth watching on tv are free to watch on the net without a licence.

Just reinstalled XP64 as I was having major network issues on Vista with my Xbox  

iPlayer is working fine here (only tried streaming not download)

Works fine here, if you are using the 64Bit version of IE though itll not work.  Need to use a 32Bit browser.  So either standard IE, or Firefox (the beta is a faster than a Scouse bird on a weekend!)

Tried with IE32, got this :



Might try with Firefox later on.

Just go to the site for streaming http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

Thats what I get when I go there.

Hmm strange! I didnt need to install anything to watch streamed stuff.

Strange, do not need to install anything, are you using IE64?

streaming is just a flash client, will work on anything flash works on.

downloading however requires the client installed to download and delete content

lovely drm stuff that only works on windows and the client only works on 32bit windows.

you can use streaming iplayer on most things.

just funny that you get better quality streams on the iphone/ipod touch as they have h.264 files
