What I was trying to point out is that there are likely rights issues that both Sky and Virgin have to deal with, as the content on their players is third party, whereas the BBC have the rights over most of what is on iPlayer, and Youtube don't really care.

As Flash has DRM, then it's likely that was chosen to order to protect the rights of the content owners
