really? the BBC have that much say? I can see the sense in offering either 1 or the other, but nothing to say that Vm couldn't have stuck with the VM provided iplayer content or allow tivo users access to it as an alternative to the web app.

It just happens that the Tivo is web enabled and therefore can access the iplayer web app. I assume that the other content providers are still coming through the Vm portal?
