Maybe?

BBC iPlayer is now available on more than 300 different connected TV devices, and this new version – launching initially on Sony's PlayStation 3 – will be coming to many more TV screens in the coming months as BBC iPlayer evolves beyond catch-up into a complete connected TV experience.

Daniel Danker, BBC's General Manager, Programmes & On Demand, said: "BBC iPlayer has been tremendously successful. With today's announcement, we’re transforming iPlayer in its most natural home: right on the living room TV. By creating a product that’s as simple and intuitive as flicking through TV channels, the BBC is bringing on demand television to mainstream audiences across the UK.

"Last week, Ofcom reported that 10% of TV sets sold in the UK are internet ready. But BBC iPlayer is already available on over 300 connected TVs and blu-ray disc players, which has resulted in a five fold growth of iPlayer on TV over the last six months alone. At this rate of growth, in the next few years we could well see over half of iPlayer use directly on the living room TV."

Notes to Editors
The BBC uses the term "connected TV" to define any device that can deliver programmes over the internet to the living room TV, including:

IPTV (Pay-TV) platforms (eg Virgin Media, BT Vision, Sky)
Games Consoles (e.g. Nintendo Wii, PlayStation3, XBOX)
Freeview HD, YouView, Freesat HD set-top boxes
"Smart" internet-ready TVs (eg Samsung, Sony, Panasonic)
Other connected devices (eg Boxee, blu-ray disc players)
