And a background in installing Malware on users PC's without their
consent perhaps?

Add that to the fact that the BBC's EULA bans Security researchers
from looking for dangerous code in iPlayer, is there any reason what
so ever to believe iPlayer is actually safe and not a Trojan of some
kind? I can see little other reason for blocking security researchers
from even examining the binary.

if you read the ToS you will notice that the BBC states it doesn't
warranty that iPlayer is secure or virus free, that *you* the consumer
hold the risk, and that *you* the consumer or _any_ other person,
including security experts are prohibited from examining the software
to determine whether it is or is not safe.

Any chance of an explanation? Is the BBC trying to steal credit card
details, or are you trying to zombie boxes for some reason? Was
tampering with competitions not lucrative enough for you?

If the BBC has nothing to hide, then what is all the hiding for?

Oh incidentally there are multiple mistakes on www.bbc.co.uk/iPlayer I
shall leave you to find and fix them.
