iPlayer set for Xmas day launch

The BBC will launch it's iPlayer on Christmas Day, but will it be back in
the box before the new year? The beta trails haven't been a resounding success
with ISP's
ganging up on it's bandwidth usage and users
complaining about technical problems. These include DRM licensing faults, broken links and lengthy waits for
programmes, even the support message board has nearly 3,500 threads on
"technical issues".
Another issue is that at the present only users of Windows XP are
fully supported,
so anyone getting a new PC with Vista, Macs or Linux on for Xmas will be unable
to enjoy the iPlayer 'experience'.
A BBC spokesperson said that "it's all about the content available on the
platform. The Christmas schedules are the richest time of year for TV
programming." but could the iPlayer end up becoming a turkey?
