BBC iPlayer to launch next month

Suddenly missing Doctor Who isn't going to involve a BitTorrent client (if you live in the UK and if you didn't already have SKY+ or a PVR). Finally the BBC iPlayer is set to launch next month.

There are of course negatives: it's Windows XP only and it uses Microsoft DRM, but the BBC argue that their aim is to get it out to the majority first and then improve it. (Although the DRm will probably never go).

The biggest plus about all this is that it is free.
