 Does anyone know if there are any conversations with Sky on iPlayer
 running on their platform? It's a pity the HD box doesn't yet use the
 Ethernet port for interactive access, as I'm sure it would be possible
 to implement a DIY solution via the miniweb platform on the sky box

 Any thoughts??


Sky is listed in the iPlayer Ofcom market impact report as being somewhat
hostile to the whole thing.  BSkyB thinks that the BBC should just doing
anything where there is 'market failure' and leave everything else to Sky.

We, of course, can list all those successful (non-Sport) UK production by
Sky.  The are all there to watch on Sky Gold!

 Hi,

 I'm a lurker on this list but thought I would de-lurk to show you
 all what I've been up to with the stuff found around bbc.co.uk.  Over
 a few days hacking with ruby I built a lighter version of the flash
 based iPlayer with series grouping, some rss feeds and related content
 from blogs and youtube.

 http://iplayerlist.mibly.com

 Its rough and ready but I'm happy with the results.  If you are
 interested, a little more info about what is holding it altogether is
 available over here.

I saw this linked off the wiki - very cool. There are features on that
such as RSS subscription that really should be on the official
iPlayer. Great work!
