I'd just like to thank everybody who has been trying hard to get the iplayer working again. I use it for my 3yo, who always seems to want to watch Wiggly Pig or Bob the Builder over and over again..
I've got a Wii sat next to the xbox, and can access iplayer via the official iplayer widget/app/whatever it is called for that, but it's a pain in the neck just getting the pointer onto the TV, never mind actually aiming it at the buttons or, god forbid, the scroll bar... I've no chance of teaching her this one, and as CBeebies programmes are mostly only 10 mins long I'm not getting any peace!
It's ridiculous that they changed it. As has been said, and just like all forms of DRM, it's not going to stop the commercial pirates who don't give a jot about copyright or licencing restrictions. It just annoys those who wanted to do things the "right" way...
