BBC iplayer via V+
Does anyone know anymore about access to the BBC iPlayer via the V+ box? This would be a great addition to the V+ service, considering that the BBC want to give access to the BBC archives via iPlayer. Also the catchup TV is very limited at the moment on V+, and this would make it much better.
See this link which claims that the BBC is planning to make it available on V+ very soon!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/docs/speech...y_27_06_07.htm |

Re: BBC iplayer via V+
I can't even get BBC Interactive to work on a V+ box so don't hold your breath. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. How wrongly can you press a red button? Do any of the BBC Interactive services ever work for anyone with a V+ box?

Re: BBC iplayer via V+
Yea. Should be During Spring this year.
And if V Boxes can handle it, V+ can, surely...

Re: BBC iplayer via V+
Until I read the article I would have said it wasn't going to happen as currently (if I'm not mistaken) uses DRM and is only good on windows.
That said, a DRM free mac version will be out later this year, so I suspect that is when V+ may get it also.

Re: BBC iplayer via V+
You wouldnt need DRM on the V+ box. It has HDMI protection or something that prevents you from recording on demand programmes

To the person with the red button problem. I had the same, its a fault with how VM have set up your system at their end. So you need to report it. They sorted mine out in an hour.

iPlayer works fine on my iMac already, though I haven't a clue why ???
