BBC Multicast Technical Trial

[partyman]

The bbc have started their trails for online mulitcast which anyone can view:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/multicast/channels.shtml

Can get all the BBC and ITV channels.

I've had a go but cant get any of them to work at work. Anyone else have any luck?

edit: only works with certain ISPs apparently:

PlusNet

C&W but not bulldog?

well balls to the bbc, I mean we only pay a rising tv fee each year so you can have more phlem-wads chatting nonsense.

This could open up a whole legal debate here. I wonder if it is legal to view BBC1/2 without a TV licence?

I may be able to disconnect my ariel and just stream from my PC and never pay a TV licence again (there was a test case a few years ago where someone took out the RF component out of his TV and didn't need to pay a TV licence)

Damn NT-L and there lack of Multicast enabledness!

hmm i'm really not sure about that. im sure i heard that the bbc say that you need a TV licence to view online broadcasts.

"But those who only use their computer, for example, to watch TV broadcasts will need to ensure they are properly licensed."

What a crap list of ISP's, hardly worth them bothering!

[Mario87]

don't work here in the uni halls either...

[whatnow]

feel free to make use of their feedback form though

[TwoPlAnKs]

its not their fault that ISPs dont support it, they cant stop folk from using crap ISPs

shame though cos i'm with BT and wouldnt mind seeing this, however i have a freeview TV card anyway so i dont really care
