Same thing with BBC's iPlayer. I heard some interesting stuff about it, but I can't view a single video at all on the site. So I'm rather disappointed by that too.

I really wish media didn't have to be all about "licensing and agreements". I mean, it's just TV. You watch, you see some ads, the site provider gets paid, and that's that. Why must it be so complicated internationally?

i can't see iplayer being released internationality any time soon. There would uproar in the UK if they opened it up to the word, since every household in UK with a tv legally has to pay i think £140 to the BBC as a "tv licence" to cover it's costs.

Possibly paid version of the iplayer may come out, but no chance of all of the BBC's shows for free.
