BBC iPlayer Part II

Friends who have used the player have said it is a handy tool to watch programmes again. However, only being able to watch them again for up to seven days is a bit limited.Other big problems include the beta only works on Windows media player and you have to download the whole programme you are watching. This could be up to 400mb and could be a big issue for those with bandwidth and download limits.On the positive side, the quality is excellent and you will get to watch top gear or heros again. What i would like to see is the availability of watching repeats over longer than seven days and to be able to stream the programmes over the web instead of hogging the bandwidth and waiting for downloads. With today’s cheap storage and the BBC being one of the worlds most used site –why are they not streaming? The technology is there and we could even go a step further with repeats on your mobile. Come on the license fee itself is worth it if you can get all this.

Worth downloading but not sure if it is worth the hassle of waiting around for programmes to download. Part I
