Sponsor |  nutmeg | Feb 21, 11:19am | Has anyone used this?
I've downloaded it, but have been unable to download any programmes - I just get a never-ending 'connecting' display.
I restarted firefox in case there was a problem trhere - and the result is that now the download manager tries to open IE when I try to download a programme which I've selected from the iPlayer page (whilst using firefox).
Any suggestions to solve this problem? Thanks.
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.12 and Vista. |

I thought I'd download it so he could watch it at a more convenient time. I gave up in the end because I completely failed to get the downloaded iPlayer to function. |

| | DockGreen | Feb 22, 1:51am | I thought the programs were drm'd so that they can't be used after the 7 days.
(using Linux here, so I can only watch on the website since drm isn't exactly open source and the two of them don't play well :( )
I'd imagine there is some sort of very illegal screen-capture-but-for-streaming-video software that you could use while the player was running.
That would be bad. |

So I registered then tried to watch, bugger, I can't watch it if I'm out of the UK. Damn, so much to keeping up with BBC Telly while I'm out here in Germany. |
