Yep, but having just moved house I'm without broadband until next week.

The bigger issue for me isn't that it uses MS technology (although I
understand why it is for some), it's that the content will only work for 7
days before it gets removed.

In the previous iPlayer trial I still found myself watching stuff off the
Tivo, or grabbing torrents from uknova instead of using the BBC stuff.

Now I've got access to Freeview I'm debating whether to keep the Tivo or
build a multi-tuner friendly Myth or Freevo box - not sure they get the same
WAF as Tivo though.
