A little scheme is being tested out on BBC Three for the next few weeks - digital satellite viewers can choose between a variety of different programmes every sunday night from 9pm - 1am.

The idea should come to digital cable and Freeview soon!

Yep - as with all the menus for the BBCi multi-screen services on DSat - the menu is itself another video stream. (If you look closely on some services you can see some of the graphics are generated in the set top box, whilst others are part of the incoming video)
