</blockquote></div><br>I've used this getiplayer to download some radio and TV shows. Sometimes I want to transfer them to my PDA for mobile listening. I know this is in breach of the iplayer conditions, but is it any worse than recording the broadcast? I have used MythTV in the past, but haven't got it set up at the moment and never worked out how to get it to automatically convert the broadcast MPEG into a convenient audio file. In our house we watch a fair bit of iplayer using the browser on our Wii so we can use the big TV.<br>
<br>I may have to check out that script with the ITV service as that normally requires Silverlight. Not that I watch much on ITV.<br><br>See you on Wednesday.<br><br>-- <br>Steve<br>
