I run it (v 25.11.11)on the Iyo 5.16 and the Armini.
It's a news ticker which runs across the screen. You can place it at 
the top or bottom. You can choose your newsfeed from within its 
choices. Sorry, I don't know the source.

I have used mobile web service contact form (at bottom of the mobile page)
to inform BBC  - it will not have any effect unless lots of other do it.
The URL which Peter referred to works but not after Netsurf and the Iyo
have been closed down - back to mobile page today.

I do not know of !Ticker - will google it - but what does it do and is it
IYO friendly?

!Ticker solves the problem for me.


However, if the BBC is playing fast and loose, it needs to be told!
