BBC iPlayer available for Mac

This was supposed to be great news until I fit to the part where it mentions you must be a UK resident. Seemto recall trying this on a PC and got the error' message. No doubt someone will have already 'solved' this problem but I can usually wait for BBCAmerica or SciFi for most shows.

BBC iPlayer finally available for Mac

In October 2007, the BBC said that the iPlayer would be available for Macs and Linux by the end of the 2007. Two weeks shy of the end of 2008, the BBC finally delivers. Maybe their developers accidentally took a trip in the TARDIS.

Using Adobe AIR technology, the BBC has developed a version of the iPlayer that is compatible with OS X and Linux. The press release states that the player has entered beta as of today and a final release is scheduled for February 2009.

The beta testing of the Mac-compatible iPlayer is being conducted through the BBC iPlayer Labs. The application download itself can be found here.

The beta version of the BBC iPlayer Desktop requires OS 10.4 and above. The site does not indicate if the download is a universal binary. The BBC iPlayer is only available for UK citizens.
