Filled in all the surveys they've sent, including the daily diary re Media usage.
I'm awaiting my download link in the next couple of days. Not bragging or anything... hymagumba, I'm going to re-suggest you through the link we have in the survey - you never know, might be lucky this time.
Must admit I'm fascinated by the whole thing and really looking forward to it launching. Sadly I'm at uni and they don't allow peer-to-peer file sharing on their connection so I don't think I'd be able to give them much testing so didn't bother applying!
It'll be interesting to see how long after the public launch before someone creates a hack or application that removes the DRM or some way to keep the file. I assume R&D are trying their best to prohibit this.

Thats what I was thinking as well - maybe illegal but who am I to moan what you can get for free! My guess is within weeks a hack will have been found and the BBC will be adding patches and things to get round it.
I was under the impression the iMP program itself had the option to "save" a show/programme etc? Rather than just stream it? I think DRM will become a thing of the future we all have to live with, espically with Vista on the horizion.

I suppose that's fair enough to use DRM to enforce subscription services, but what I object to the use of is when you purchase something you own (i.e. files off download sites).
When I was playing with it this week I only had time to watch a few seconds of Doctor Who and a little bit of the news, but it seemed vastly superior to the broadband RealPlayer streams the BBC currently offers.
