It's a fantastic idea (in principle), and looks great... but I'm in
agreement with some others and express concern about get_iplayer
becoming too popular, and drawing attention to itself.
A cease and desist letter might occur, but moreover, the last thing most
of us want is active measures
I'm not so active here but I agree with David - both in his compliments
and in his concerns.

And me too. Nice site, but I think it should perhaps be our little
secret... Better that than lose it.

Hi All,
I love the effort square penguin has put in, but also have to agree with the
feeling of keeping under the radar. Remember lots of the content is not the
BBC's as such and their partners get anti.

I completely agree with all that has been said re raising the profile of the

wrong direction I think. CLI only is pretty obscure; the reason I think it

Please can I join in those GIP users urgently requesting that the new GIP

Great news from Beebify is that we've just partnered with unBLOCKr.
unBLOCKr provides access to PlayRights for DRM-protected BBC-TV shows
when you're outside the UK. Download with Beebify, get PlayRights

unBLOCKr is now tightly integrated into Beebify. Just switch on
