The BBC are working on a version of the iPlayer that will load into the STB (or the TV itself, if its Freesat integrated like your Panny) and let you download, and possibly stream, the same content you currently access on the iPlayer via your PC.

Sounds pretty cool, hopefully they will do this.

The only problem at the moment is that some of the channels available on freeview arent on freesat and vice versa. Its ok if you have both cause you can just change from one to the other for certain channels. But apparently most of the freeview channels will soon be on freesat.
