Its all very well and good sorting out all these Apple fans with the iPlayer but when will the BBC learn that Real Player is RUBBISH and let me listen to the radio shows i miss using a program that doesnt require me to infect my PC to the hilt with bloatware to listen to sub-par quality audio.

iPlayer went flash many weeks ago for new additions, those play on various browsers like firefox.
As to your "When it comes to that, why allow pesky foreigners to view this stuff for free. Flog it and give us a refund."
I'd like to point out that the BBC quite effectively refuses to play anything for foreign IP's, so they can flog it and give a re.. I mean - pocket the money, oh and invest in showing american football in the middle of the night which nobody in britain cares for I'm sure.
