Titled: "Downloading Top Gear Legally: Why I Joined the BBC"
Given by Anthony Rose, Head of Digital Media Technology, BBC

Webcast includes questions on ISP bandwidth, rights and DRM issues.

Click ">> Play webcast" and wind forward about 23 minutes to skip the 
preamble. Whole presentation is 1 hour long in lo-fi muddyvision and I 
recommend plenty of coffee, black, no sugar. I also recommend the IET 
finds themselves a new cameraman ;-)

It's been announced last month, but iPlayer is going down the TiVo like 
personalisation route, downloading programs overnight ye may have some 
interest in - and also syncing to mobile devices (so that hospital 
incidents of people walking into lamp-posts will rise...)

This could mark the beginning of the end of similar "download - watch 
later" paid services from Top Up TV & BT?

I just got a Humax freesat box and I thought I read (somewhere) that
it was possible to get the footy on HD by pushing the red button but
it aint working with me.

It won't apparently if your ITV1 SD channel is STV or Ulster. Bung in an 
English postcode to set Ch 103 to a English ITV region.
