Been on the beta program for this since the start and have been running on Vista without any probelsm.

EDIT: Just tried it again....seems since it has gone 'public' it no longer works on Vista....even less useful now!

Have to say have not used it much though, do not like that fact you cant actually save what you download...have a time limit (7days) in which to watch it and as far as I know you can only watch the stuff in the supplied player..all wrapped in DRM....

Well got my email 4 days after registering, running on vista here seems fine, but have read on there forum about using xp compatibility mode, which i have not tried yet (will try if stops working).

But also posts about vista stopping working after a couple of downloads.

still trying to justify using iplayer, as so many things repeated anyway, so if you missed one recording then there is always another (hero's for example).

The only possible use is BBC3\4 content if you are not in a freeview area, and no form of recording.
