So with Educating Ashley having left the BBC, I was hoping things might get better, but it sounds like things have actually got worse. ITVPlayer switched from Silverlight to Flash recently and I just spotted a test/review of playing them with Gnash at http://www2.apebox.org/wordpress/rants/199/ which includes:
"We should NEVER be forced to use Proprietary software in order to surf the web – yet now we've gone from having access to 25% of the UK's streaming TV services via Free Software to 0% of them, and people are happy about it." Yes, I know that there download tools and other ways into some of the services some of the time for some of the programmes, but how can we avoid going further backwards and losing even those before gaining legitimate access to our Public Service Broadcasters?
