Downloaded the beta software for the BBC iplayer.

Seems very similar to channel4's 4od software but it seems with the BBC software that the entire program has to be downloaded before viewing whereas the channel 4 software allows streaming.

Anyone used the BBC software and got any comments.

It looks rubbish compared to the Channel 4 player and there's less on it. It wont let you resize the viewing window even to 2x so to be able to see anything you have to watch it gull screen. Even worse when you do go full-screen it used Software Overlay because the Hardware Overlay is not released by the tiny viewing window when it changes to the stand alone Media Player so the motion isn't as smooth because you can just about see it rendering on scene changes.
