BBC iPlayer: More bugs than a door mat
,----[ Quote ]
| I just found my invite to the new BBC iPlayer beta service. I got very
| excited to (finally!) be part of a major piece of online video history and

| Anyway, those are my views on the iPlayer. I’ve broadly covered the DRM
| controversy before but when you see it in action, it’s not only terrible on a
| freedom of use level, but also on usability level. If you have any questions
| or views, drop them in the comments. And before you ask, I don’t have any
| invites to give away.

| TV operators are starting to abuse CGMS-A effectively locking people using
| third party PVR software, like Windows MCE, to record shows that should not

Microsoft DRM issues: C00D11E2, C00D11B1, C00D11D0, C00D2748.

| With the edition of Netflix's Copy protection a new level of DRM issue has
| come up.
| This is because netflix has taken the C00D11B1 error and labeled it as DRM.
| The default Message for this error is simply a generic error and doesn't say
| anything about being DRM related.
