Now that the BBC iPlayer has launched in beta, could some of you
who're already using the iPlayer say what the file sizes are of the
TV programmes you've downloaded so far please, and also say what the
duration of the programme is in minutes so that I can calculate what
bit rate they're using for the programmes?

Also, are the files all using WMV for the video and WMA for the
audio? --

Does it have [B[b][C] DOG **** on the picture and ****-voices?


No idea, cos the BBC is limiting the number of people that can use it - so
much for their much vaunted "launch" on 27th July...

Any answer to my question please?

[B[b][C] DOG **** on the picture and ****-voices or are the programmes
un-damaged?

Ah, its a sign up site. No ta.

But, I will believe that the torrent is there.

Sign-up to a site or download a piece of bloatware from the BBC? No contest.

However, just for you:

I can't get anything to download - it keeps telling me to download the
iplayer - which I have done 10 times.

Has the Kontiki ActiveX been loaded. It appears in IE in a not very
noticeable tool bar.

KHost.exe is running - where would this toolbar be?

One wonders why you bothered to download it the once.

Ah, its a sign up site.

Yes of course, as Dom mentioned in the post you replied to. The best
torrent sites are often like that.

No ta.

Cut your nose off to spite your face if you must!

But, I will believe that the torrent is there.

It is indeed there in excellent quality with 127 seeders as I type this.

UK Nova is lightning fast. He really is cutting off his nose.....

He's totally Danniella Westbrook!

See IE's help, ActiveX controls, Information bar.

I missed it the first few times around and got the "download iPlayer
again" run around. I found a note about Kontiki on the iPlayer message
board.

The Kontiki software takes about 5-6MB of disk space - hardly bloat
these days ;-)

Maybe not, but it seems to crash on my PC every other day ever since I
installed 4oD (Kservice.exe or something like that isn't it?).

Why does anyone download these things from TV companies? If they all
used the same software..... then I still wouldn't, but anyway.

Er, they do use the same software - BBC iplayer, 4oD and SkyAnytime all
basically use Kontiki. However, it's packaging where the flaws are...
You land up with an unstable Windows machine with repeated instances of
the same software if you want all services :-(

At the moment it takes technical workarounds, ISP co operation, messing
about and the realization that this is all still buggy "in beta" - and
won't be ready for the general public until someone defines some
industry standards or virtualisation OS technology becomes commonplace
in consumer PC hardware.

That's not going to happen anytime soon, and with the piracy problems I
sadly don't think UK broadcasters are going to be there for the distance
without burning a lot of money to protect their copyrights.

Doomed ;-(

(but me enjoying the Iplayer trial anyway :-)
