I was also able to use it last night (eventually) successfully on
Intrepid. Did have a few problems at first though with a clash between the
distro's flash plugin and trying to install the latest direct from adobe.
Got there in the end though.

It's NOT on Linux. It's on 3 specific distribution versions of Linux.

Ubuntu 7.10 isn't the newest version, neither is it a Long Term
Support version, support for 7.10 will be terminated in April 09[1].
This rules out most Ubuntu users who will not be on this version. The
newest version of Ubuntu is 8.10[2] (2 versions newer than 7.10).
I don't know about Fedora or OpenSuSE, but iPlayer desktop works on
Ubuntu Intepid Ibex (8.10).
The BBC iPlayer desktop will probably not install on previous versions
of Ubuntu as it requires Flash 10 to be installed and that was only
released recently.
I'm just watching Never Mind the Buzzcocks (http://tinyurl.com/5stc6v) .
Shame there doesn't seem to be many programs available for download yet.
I'm really impressed with the AIR client, shame you can't browse an
available list of programs in the app.
Thanks
Adam
