In fact, i'd assume the Flash version will use the best encoding the BBC make available elsewhere, as it's brand new (VM are the first user of it I think I've seen people say).

The same app is being made available to Popcorn Hour media streamers apparently, and no doubt other embedded-flash enables devices soon.
thanks, that makes sense. I would love to know what bit rate the tivo app actually streams at. Just techy curiosity.
