Does the BBC need a new queuing system, perchance? I signed up this morning, and all I've had is a website response saying 'If we're able to invite you' - guess that's a 'no' then ....

This press release [1] says it'll be available from here on the 27^th : - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer When I go to that link I see a "Find out more and register..." link that takes me through to the signup page. I'm connecting from within the BBC though - perhaps a different page is presented to external visitors? No, that's what appeared last night. What's been launched today is an 'open, closed beta', i.e. it's still only available to users of the beta but anyone can register their interest and at some point receive an account. Has anyone tried using the iPlayer on Linux using wine? I could wait for the Linux version but I'm quite impatient. :) Also, does anyone have any idea how long you have to wait before you receive an account? No virus found in this incoming message.
