And for those who want to connect from outside the UK this works like a charm. Unlike other solutions, this works without VPN access so it doesn't suffer speed problems.

The BBC man in charge of this was on the PM programme last night. Apparently if you use the Iplayer on on Apple machine you dont have to finish watching it within 7 days like you do on a Windows machine you have 30 days. Also, he did promise that at some stage you would also be able to download BBC radio programmes but wouldnt be drawn on the date.
