Although for me, on MacOS 10.5, FF 3.0.10 listening to the pete tong
"listen again", if I opt for the "Lower Bandwidth version" within (the
otherwise entirely flash based) iplayer, it is delivered via
realplayer, with a flash app above it to display a pretty picture.
Flash is used for the higher bitrate streams and video.  Although I
occassionally/randomly get the realplayer version firing up even when
not requested.  Best guess being it thinks I'm on a low-bandwidth
connection.  Which is most likely caused by a crappy netgear wireless
base station randomly having a strop.

Speaking of which - what is considered the best (not insanely
expensive) wireless router these days?  Something that doesn't suck
and require rebooting every day.  I'm willing to pay a bit - the Apple
Airports seem to be the best I've seen for "just plug & work", which
vexes a bit.  I don't need anything particularly fancy, but solid
signal strength & built in adsl modem thingy would be a win.
