With the exception of Cable and Wireless, has anyone heard of any of those ISPs? They seem like the weirdest selection for the BBC to get a deal with. ASurely BT could have done something with the BBC with that, they are afterall setting up that Mobile TV which the BBC are participating in. Strange.

Yup, mine's on there (PlusNet); and Clara.net is pretty old-school too. JANET is the network available in universities.
Thanks for the link.
They don't seem to want too many people using the service, possibly still a bandwidth problem with bigger ISPs. Will see if I can watch it through my wireless connection at Uni on Monday.
Only a few small ISPs support multicasting, but BBC 1-4, News 24, ITV 1-4 and some BBC radio stations are available to watch and listen to.
So, how long will it be until TV Licensing insists that a television licence is purchased if Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, etc. are installed on any computer with an Internet connection in the UK?

Does that mean that the service could work with most ISP's already? It's just the case that they don't want that many people to sign up at the moment? Or is it purely because of the technology needed?
Not that wierd, I work for Zen Internet, where we are trialing the multicast with users at the moment.
The multicast will only work with modems and routers that support the IGMP protocol. Sorry Netgear routers are out of luck. Speedtouch 330's are in luck and the new Speedtouch routers 546 will also work.
