I read today about the BBC teaming up with Google Video to offer content there, referring back to your flash idea. Surely they could all just do that, but only have access from the UK. And that way they could offer there entire back catalogue permanently rather than just the latest programmes.

But the thing that's going to really annoy me is the BBC iPlayer, which will presumably be based around the same Microsoft DRM technology (considering the BBC signed their deal with Microsoft last year), both because I watch more BBC programmes anyway, and because it's being payed for with our license fee, and we won't even be able to make use of it. Unless they work with Crossover, which I'm currently using the beta for, and which seems to work quite well. And this is the second beta I'm on (another advantage of Macs, no bloody registry) because I just deleted all files to do with it and reinstalled the 60 day beta. :P I can understand the reluctance to use Real, I know that I really dislike Real and RealPlayer, but it’s better than nothing.
