In lovely Real Pale


Also available in tasty Windows Media flavour. A bit blurry and blocky, but sans DRM.

Seems as if Firefox is now supported as well (the download bit, watching online always worked)

I think I'm probably watching more on the iPlayer than I am through the TV now, not that I am watching that much mind you.

Watching Wednesday night's Newsnight on my iPhone via the iPlayer. Very nice.

Since when, what, who, ? I know they were working on it but I didn't think it was out yet.

Just launched - sort of. Just navigate to bbc.co.uk/iplayer on the iPhone or iPod touch

At the moment only Whistleblower and Newsnight seem to work.

The iPhone/iTouch web interface launched yesterday, but it seems only a few shows work so far.

EDIT: Trying it out some more, it seems like a lot of show work. Only problem is it seems to be using off air recordings, rather than the original versions show on the proper iPlayer. For example, Little Britain streamed onto my PC is a clean episode, yet the iPod version has the ident at the start and the BBC Three DOG over it.

I find the interface a bit irritating. If they've gone to the effort of making the shows viewable on iPhones/iPods, it would have been cool if there was a iPhone/Ipod specific interface too. Perhaps it's coming. In the meantime, while I'm loving the fact I can watch BBC shows on my iPod, I'm finding having to zoom in and out of the page a little annoying.

I tried 'Listen Again' recently for a BBC Wm show & it was very quiet.

Yes I did turn up the volume!

(Out of curiosity, is anyone having trouble using Audacity with IPlayer/Listen Again, as I can't save shows to listen later?)
