Yeah its ok, but all it appears to do is re-stream the live streams.

Im not sure if this will last as the BBC have taken out everything thats come before like this.

Ok it works but, the quality sucks as it appears to re-compress the streams from the broadcasters and not well at points it was like artifcat city.

Quality was outstanding as it connected to the same streams used for streaming to nokias, no adverts, hint hint tv catchup and had no need for flash.

THE BBC systematically killed off all other apps before lunching theirs, which in every way is worse than myplayer

So tvcatchup wont have the bbc as before 2 long before the bbc will decide they dont like people making money from their content and kill that to.

Watch this space....
