The original Kangaroo was scaled back (it became Youview) because OFCOM
thought it was anti-competitive. Does Youview even exist any more? I
don't recall ever seeing it in the wild after I did quite a bit of
annoying work to publish programme information to it from the iPlayer
back-end.

It does indeed, it's what you get when you subscribe to BT, TalkTalk,
or PlusNet TV packages

And it's rather spiffy. I do enjoy being able to intuitively scroll back on the EPG for on-demand, the interface is fairly sensible and the ease of accessing multiple providers' programmes with only limited commercial interruption is exactly how it should be.

Tangentially related - I read recently that BT Vision's going unicast for their IP streams soon, ditching multicast :(
