The BBC themselves do just that when you look at BBC News from outside
the UK. As long as it's just a link to the relevant page where the
content is then I can't see it being a problem, though I am not a
lawyer and The Pirate Bay was just a directory/search engine. Though
TPB was also linking copyright infringing material...

Great idea for a website. Not sure what the legal implications are
about putting adverts right next to BBC content though?

Jordan,
Why didn't you just call this "Project Kangaroo" and have done with
it?
Looks good - perhaps you could use the BBC Glow toolkit to use some
sliders, as this would allow you to get more choices on a single page?

Firstly, sorry if this isn't the right place to discuss this. I'm a
graphic design student and in the past few months, as a side project,
I've been working on a kind of all-in-one service for UK users that
acts as a directory of all the content available across the major
video-on-demand services. I built it because as far as I was aware,
such a service didn't exist (though I think there are a few cropping
up now) and It was something I really wanted to use myself.
The site pulls data from the iPlayer RSS feeds for each channel and
organises them alongside data from other services so you can browse by
name or date across networks.
The service is currently in beta and I'm still working on
improvements. In the long run I'd like to add radio support and
perhaps a members area so users can select their favourite shows and
be alerted when new episodes come online.
Have a look and I'd be interested in knowing your opinions:
