1) Yes, beeb always said it would be p2p based
2) Yes, by design. Thats the point! Beeb only have a licence to make (re)distributable for a set time
3) A very obvious answer, involving landfill.

For those of us that tinker with MCE clicky (http://www.onedemand.tv/) MCE plugin for 4OD/BBC I its still in beta but looks like it might be handy.

what are you talking about :-[

Well Kontiki is absolute rubbish compared to all torrent engines I have used.
What is the point on offering downloads if you have to watch on hte PC?
Anyway just bought a 5m S Video cable to try out

You can make an adapter to do vga + audio to scart IIRC Martin.
I think TB knows more about it, or DVI to HDMI if you have the inputs on your TV.

My card has three outputs 2 usable
VGA up to 1280x1024
DVI

Looks like VGA to scart then, I think TB has a diagram for an adapter somewhere.

Get something from this millenium ;)
Seriously, the only option is RGB SCART, rest are all unusable. If you have an ATI card, fairly easy to do the lead. If you have Nvidia, don't bother.
S-Video/TV-out on your video card will resmaple to 640 x 480 whatever the resolution its trying to display. Then add this to the 576 lines of a PAL set, and you can see with TV Out is utterly unusable.

Running the portable upstairs on svga, tv is okish but text on a webpage is virtually unreadable.

NVIDIA GForce 7600S
SVideo worked quite well, 4OD quality is terrible not a patch on torrents.
NExt time I will get the aspect ratio correct.
Will try with some BBC stuff next time - I have a programme on my HDD to watch

THe TV BTW is fine with different resolutions it is aperture grill not mask so is better with NTSC/PAL changes

Although trinitron uses grill rather than shadow mask, the actual resolution is still set to 576 due to the non adjustable sync rates. Also, the tube couldn't manage any more anyway.

Manages NTSC fine

Sorry, yes, should have said PAL and NTSC (as it has the electronics to do NTSC), but nothing else.
