  • Along with RDS (Radio Data Service, primarily used to identify radio stations)
  • Parts of the MPEG2 codec (so, if you've ever watch any kind of digital TV or watched a DVD, you have benefitted).
  • They were also the first company to broadcast anything digitally (they started initial tests of DTV back in the '80s and in the '90s started wider scale tests from Crystal Palace). Amazingly, this trial was conducted with the help of NTL (broadcast).
  • DAB

There's a whole load of other stuff at the BBC r&d site http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd
