You have conflated other products into the iPlayer. I haven't done anything of the sort. The BBC has a plan for a range of products which are the iPlayer. The iPlayer you are thinking of is just one part of that plan. It is true that the PC download aspect is the one that has caught the headlines. However even the PC version of iPlayer is more than just downloads - it involves streaming and podcasts too.
Tell you what, you go and actually read the BBC and Ofcom documents about the service so you know what you are talking about and then repost, eh? -- Please email me back if you need any more help. Brian Butterworth www.ukfree.tv
