Quote from: Sweensterstreaming 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

I just spoke to roger up late as well in the UK, he is on 64bit and he uses the iplayer and it works fine

Had a look at it on my Wii tonight seems to work well, streamed a couple of shows with no issues and was perfectly watchable  :) but quality isnt as good as streaming to PC and making full screen and having to move the screen around to get at the controls once I had zoomed in was a bit fiddly, but I would imagine that would become easy after a few gos, so I would still choose PC over Wii at the mo.  

They say on the iplayer site
QuoteiPlayer on Wii is still in beta, and over the coming weeks well tweak the video encoding rates and playback window size to get the best possible video quality.
so if there able to get it near to PC quality it should be great and a further excuse to buy a Wii :)

Okay so after some searching around, Ive found a version that allows downloads with XP64, if anyone wants it let me know.

SOme folk have found how to get it to work through ps3 as well and so the bbc has decided now to get it out for that as well

Yes please, where?  The download manager on the BBC site does not work with XP64.
