BBC iPlayer Update

As people flocked to the iPlayer section of the BBC website last Friday – the soft launch of the iPlayer beta – to register and download the client, most were surprised and disappointed to find that Auntie has not opened the iPlayer to a full public beta trial as had been implied. It’s still a closed trial; you just have the opportunity to register interest, which is more than you could do previously.

To be fair, the BBC didn’t specifically say it would be a free-for-all, but it didn’t do anything to correct speculation and rumour that come last Friday, licence fee payers across the land would be able to download BBC shows.
