BBC iPlayer
// September 7th, 2007 // Reviews
So, millions of tax payer pounds later and the open source nerd squad railing against it and I looked at it and was completely underwhelmed. To be fair it’s not just the linux-kids who are pissed off - I run Window Vista and can’t get the thing running without faking my user agent string. However, these operational things are small when compared to the fact that the BBC can’t manage to get their content onto the thing. Having purposefully decided that I was able to miss a couple of programmes because they were on iPlayer I have been unbelievably pissed off to find that “However, due to unforeseen technical difficulties, a small percentage of the content listed is unavailable to download;” is a very valid argument for the BBC pissing my tax payer pounds up the wall, and not delivering on their promise to give me BBC content online. Either make it work or shelve the fucking project - half arsed isn’t useful to me. 3/10
