Hi Rob, Because I never use iPlayer I am not sure what functionality the BBC offer but I have found the GiP PVR function invaluable for grabbing radio programmes which I wish to hear but which are not necessarily on at specific times. I do not have time to pour over schedules. Take for example Trollopes' Barchester Chronicles. These are being broadcast from time to time in groups according to length. Having the PVR set up for these I do not have to search through the schedules and the episodes appear in my file from time to time. I have a few other likely candidate programmes which I download by default and then delete the rubbish when I have time to listen. I do not recall a similar functionality being available on iPlayer but it is the only intelligent means of catering for people who are busy or away from their computers for days at a time. I wonder if this might form the basis of an argument for gaining a Nitro Key to create an app which provides a similar service?
Thank you, that's very helpful. It looks like the Nitro interface is a BBC-only thing until next year at least, but I've tagged your email and will use it for ammunition.
