The move would impact platforms such as Virgin Media and its recently launched TiVo box. There is currently no BBC iPlayer app, instead the assets are made available through the main TiVo interface over DVB-C as opposed to IP. Although Virgin has been working with the BBC for some time there are concerns that the consumer experience may alter as the quality of the IP delivery is not as good as through DVB-C. The existing Liberate/TV Navigator version of the iPlayer was developed between the operator and the BBC.

Well....no. The existing app allows you to access stuff like Series Catch-Up, allowing you to view content beyond the previous 7 days for selected shows.

Yep, YouView as well.
I guess this probably puts the final nail in any real chances of iPlayer on my WDTV Live or Xbox 360.
