BBC iPlayer now available via Red Button
Just noticed that the BBC iPlayer has become available from the red button on BBC1 (and presumably the other BBC channels as well). Had a quick look at it, not too bad, reasonably speedy at least on a V+, menu structure is OK but not brilliant, unfortunately picture quality at least on the few programmes I've skimmed through leaves a lot to be desired. Very blocky with obvious compression artifacts.

I've only ever downloaded programmes from iPlayer and played them directly on my TV from a PC, so I can't say how the quality compares to streaming from the BBC site.

Still it's well worth a look.
