Wasn't the point of Kangaroo that it would offer programmes for sale,
after
the time-window for iPlayer-style "catch-up" services had expired?
I'm not sure. I thought it was supposed to be some standard for IPTV set
top
boxes, but all the reports make it out to be an extended version of
iP
Surely they would still be competing to get people to watch their
shows. One shop can sell DVDs from all three, and thats not uncompetitive.

Hey all,
I've been given a brand new copy of O'Reilly's newly-published book

According to http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/flickrhks/:
"Flickr Hacks (by Paul Bausch and Jim Bumgardner) expands t
