Updated 11th December 2007: Further reports confirm the BBC’s plan to launch iPlayer on Christmas Day so the Queen’s speech can be viewed along with the rest of the Christmas Day schedule. Mac and Linux users will be able to access the BBC’s content, finally 
09/12/02: Rumours are afoot that the Mac/Linux version of the BBC iPlayer will be launching on Christmas Day, 25th December 2007. Whilst this would be great if true, it seems a slightly odd choice of day when support teams etc will be their holiday break etc. I’m sceptical but would be more than happy to be proved wrong.
Stay tuned, more info as and when I get it …
The BBC iPlayer (for Windows only – at the moment) can be found at here

When this was first announced ( ie the BBC broadcasting programming over the Internet ) I have to admit I was quite excited about it. The problem is that as details of the product have emerged and the crummy DRM that it brings with it I am less and less interested and frankly after trying the Windows version I think I will probably pass this one over !
Shame really, as a licence payer I think we deserve better from the Beeb.
Well, the Mac version streams so DRM is much less of an issue I think.
