I made a thread on this, ntl need to signup as a multicast peer before we get to use this, so ntl can dictate when we start using it not bbc.

I think the BBC are going to use their own P2P style thing for the TV show downloads.

I got on a trial of this last year and it was very good. Although the DRM on the files only let you watch for 7 days.

It was :tu:

Although the program was outrageously picky about what media player you could use. I had it working then it stopped working (something about Windows Upgrade changing the build) and then could never get it working again.

Oh come on, this is NTL were talking about here, their PR Dept have done their job (announcing the 10mb speed increases) and probably save a few peeps from jumping ship to some of the other providers (Bulldog etc) to maximise NTL`s revenue.

It`ll be here about 3-4 month`s from now at least if the last upgrade was anything to go by..

Me a cynic, never :D
