Good point, got a bit blinkered looking at my computer there. Forgot TiVo had embedded flash and not containered.

Point still stands on custom iPlayer implementations though - they shouldn't be happening. By all accounts that is what has killed the iOS app development stone dead - the version currently out in the wild has been ready for months if not years - since before a freeze was put on spending money/effort on custom code.

If it transpires the beeb have spent money/effort on VM (after already doing so with the Catch-Up implementation), and won't apply the same to iOS (or any other "custom" platform), we should be asking why.
