Yes, an interesting link, thanks.

It's odd they call themselves "catchup" when they only stream live TV.

Going to take a look as its the kind of thing I'd like to tap into with web feed encoder.

But I'm expecting hidden streams URLs and DRM that only windows media player can unlock.

I signed up - shows a big advert - then spent ages buffering.

Its a flash player and the stream URL is not public.

Capturing stream URLs is something I'm looking at but is a long way off.

The bit rate was also quite low my end resulting in poor PQ. I didn't suffer any long loading or buffering times though. Would you be better off trying to tap into the iPlayers? Just a thought.

Streamed ok to here and I don't have the quickest ADSL. iPlayer is just BBC isn't it ? This one does them all..

Having said that, I only posted it for fun Sage tunes Freeview quite nicely

I was just refering to iPlayers in general, you could also use ITV's, Channel 4's and Fives variations. Not sure if they would work on the Playon plugin, not had time to try myself.

The major pulling point of these is "It makes the Unmissable, Unmissable"
