Well it's not that hard to get iPlayer content on the Xbox. Once Linux
(e.g. Xebian) is installed then essentially the Xbox is just another
Linux x86 machine. Install IceWeasel/Firefox and the Flash plugin and
iPlayer works fine.
This would be unethical (since the Adobe flash plugin in not shareable
or modifiable) and it breaks the Flash EULA section 3.1.
Unethical in what way? There's a question about whether this complies
with EULA section 3.1 but I would maintain that an Xbox running Linux is
a PC and not a games console especially when all the games-related stuff
has been removed. I wasn't suggesting porting anything to the original
XBox operating system or modifying the plugin in any way, merely
pointing out that it was possible to run iPlayer on the Xbox hardware.
Certainly an open source solution that avoids these uncertainties is a
better answer.

David.
