BBC i Player

I won't try it now, as I'm using quite an old Mac. However... at least OS X and Linux will now be supported. Yay.

Not as old as my 300MHz G3 I'm sure! Either, here's hoping the downloads won't be "IE only" for too much longer.

Fantastic. Brilliant. Excellent. Who needs linear television?

I think some of their shows are badly listed.

Top Gear for example, with a BBC One logo, a BBC Three dog, for a BBC Two programme. Nice.

The Mac streaming version is brilliant!

So simple. Click on the programme you want to watch and view it directly in your browser or full screen.

Why the hell was the Beta for Windows so complicated with downloading and installing stuff - this is much better! OK - so you can't download the programmes, but then, they fill up your hard drive, and expire anyway - so I don't really see the point.

Fantastic for fast unlimited broadband connections - bit of a bugger for slower, data capped connections, but then that's true for anything...

Wow, the streaming service is incredibly easy to use. Good work, BBC.

Much better than the clunky old program you used to enforce upon us.

I see people's point about the programmes be categorised incorrectly - the new Nigella Express episode says it was on BBC1, when it was on BBC2 - same for Top Gear.
