I've used the iPlayer a bit already...apart from the webpage navigation its very good, and its handy to have to catch up on stuff you miss...having it striaght from the Wii would be awesome.
Regarding the ISP's crying that people are actually using the service they pay for, rather than follow their assumed business model of use 8Meg Broadband for email and surfing the web, they have no pity from me. I (and I suspect many other here) chose my contract specifically on the "Unlimited" nature of it... I know full well that sometimes I burn up a lot of bandwidth (gig's per day, or GPD), and any limited contract would be pointless for me.
Exactly the same arguments were used a few years ago (anyone in Highmead will remember the absolute shitstorm I unleashed on NTL after they introduced a cap on our broadband contract), so you can only assume that ISP's have a very short, and selective, memory...

Oh hell yes! That would be ace, no more missing Dr Who for me.
Just spotted this on The Reg. Nice!
