Hi Richard,

Yes, it's very good, the iPhone screen really shows its quality well with the TV programmes. I just caught up with the last episode of The Passion.

All we need now is a really fast network connection when on the move (like 3G) and then you can do this on the train!

and some half decent content

do we really need to see last of the summer whine (sic ) again ??

bring back The Goodies !!!  

Why is the BBC iPlayer only available for people that are based in the UK ?
I can receive BBC 1, 2, 3, 4, Prime, World, but can't watch BBC iPlayer.
(i live in The Netherlands) 

I believe there are copyright issues, the BBC are not licensed to distribute their content outside of the UK.

That's what i expected, thanks for your reply.

BBC World Service is funded by government grant and not the TV licence fee. Profits from separate BBC commercial services help to keep the licence fee low."

I've paid the license fee, but can't, always, use the BBC iPlayer! I'm living in the UK, but work, during the week, in the Netherlands! So should I only pay 3/7 of the TV license fee?

We have a similar system in The Netherlands for the public-tv channels (and radio).

Regarding the BBC / license fee; 
Even though i live in The Netherlands, i can receive (via cable-tv) :
BBC 1, BBC 2, BBC 3, BBC 4, BBC Prime !
I guess the cable company pays license fee to the BBC (?)
