RabbieBurns Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 BBC Iplayer is good.. but theres not enough on it ;p
Michael Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 You really have to ask as time goes on, just how are the BBC going to tell whether these people have television licenses?
plexer Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 BBC - BBC Internet Blog: iPlayer Doesn't Require A TV Licence... Yet You don't need one to watch on demand content. Ben
plexer Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 BBC - BBC iPlayer - Help - Do I need a TV licence to watch programmes on BBC iPlayer?
RabbieBurns Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Which I think is going to become a big issue.. as more and more people opt for TV on demand, the views of the live broadcast will keep on decreasing.. However, its not just watching the bbc that dictates your license.. if you watch *any* live TV, you need a license AFAIK Our household (back home) hasnt watched live TV (apart from football/news) since Sept 2007 when I put a Netgear Eva8000 media player in each of the lounges and hooked it up to a media server which downloaded TV episodes from the 'net. Granted getting the US shows is a bit dubious, but getting the UK shows which we were licensed for is perfectly acceptable in my opinion.. and by using usenet etc its not costing the BBC/ITV/CH4 any money whatsoever (and no lost revenue from ads either as previously we had sky+ we just skip the ads anyway)
sidewinder Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 About time...they say it worked before but it was always just watching it in a web browser and it looked crap Might plug my wii in for the first time in months soon then
Edu-IT Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 About time...they say it worked before but it was always just watching it in a web browser and it looked crap Might plug my wii in for the first time in months soon then Did this tonight.
pooley Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Downloaded the iplayer for wii last night, watched Dr Who again, worked well, no streaming issues etc
Edu-IT Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Worked fine for me too. Watched Top Gear on it. Pretty impressive.
pscott Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 It installs on a softmodded console wihtout issue aswell!
elsiegee40 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Early finish today, so I've updated the console and downloaded it. Much better on the big TV than on my PC.
russdev Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Yes must admit very good was looking for info one the framework (Video on Demand Framework) that BBC use to deliver the the content on WII. Russ
