Flash On the Beach

Alltop, all the cool kids (and me)

 
Or streaming over download; or Flash over P2P, or online over offline. Who knows, read whatever you like into the fact that 8 times more people access the BBC's iPlayer content via the browser based streaming version (Flash video) rather than the Windows-only, P2P based download player for which the Beeb had received a lot of bad press. Why didn't they listen to me from the start? :-)
For those who don't know, the BBC now offers all TV content for online viewing, on demand for up to one week after it has aired. sorry, but the iPlayer is only accessible if you are in the UK. Silly, I know but then I don't make the rules.

Yes, they are quite silly but you know what it's like, they got caught up in all the DRM stuff in windows media. Just yesterday I watch 2 programmes streamed, very good to. I have also used ITV player but it is Windows Media and the quality of the stream is not that great, BBC have the right balance. People dont want to download they jsut want to sit down and watch something on demand with no grief.
