iPlayer downloads for the Mac


Mac users in the UK bored of waiting for BBC iPlayer to offer downloads for us same as for those running Windoze, there’s an alternative to having to stream all things Beeb you want to watch. The probably illegal iPlayer Downloader 2.2 is available here, but runs on OS X 10.5 or above only. It seems only fair to resort to unauthorised software when we Apple fans pay the same BBC licence fee as people who support Microsoft bloatware, yet are denied the same viewing options as them. We were promised full Mac compatibility, but where is it? Hmm?

End in sight for thuggish TV licence fee demands?


The BBC is to ask viewers and listeners for their opinions on how the licence fee is collected following complaints about “heavy-handed” tactics. Heavy handed? Fucking outrageous bullying and intimidation, more like. Absolutely over the top. We know where you live… It’s all in the database… It’s like a bunch of thugs threatening to trash your home, beat you up, and send you to Guantanamo Bay… There you go, BBC. That’s one viewer and listener opinion for you. And before you send in the heavies, we have a TV licence in our home. We also resent having to pay for most of the crap you broadcast, the lifestyle magazine rubbish you pass off as news these days, and the sport coverage which we’ve no interest in supporting whatsoever.
