PS3 Fanboy

if they were to run it as a native application... yes. sony would want it. (and i wouldnt blame them). or... the bbc could just add them to the psn... but then the bbc wouldnt have control, and they dont want that.

a simple "use the web" idea would be fine...... except for the lack of web browser on someone elses console.

Sorry to go off topic here abit but, I've had no success.

I want to stream all my content from my iMac to my PS3. I have it working successfully, via wireless (G) and Nullriver's Medialink. But when I play larger movie files, the G stutters or chokes.

So, I tried turning on "Internet Sharing via Ethernet" on my iMac but now my PS3 doesn't see it, even though I set up the PS3 to access the internet via cable/ethernet. What should my settings be to stream over a cat5 between my Imac and the PS3 ? .......can you point me to a walk-through?

Same here. At least 4OD allows us access. BBC should too, although admittedly besides The Apprentice there aren't that many good programmes!

BBC shouldn't allow access to anyone outside of the UK because we get f****d with the crappy TV license fee that goes to the BBC... pay £120 a year and they might let you have access...

yea thats what i dont understand. they made it seem like Sony was the bad guy for wanting to control content on their console but can you really blame them? the great thing is that since the PS3 has a web browser (as does the Wii) they can just as easily make a PS3 optimized version of the Wii site and Sony couldn't do anything about it (again, similar to Nintendo and the Wii). the web browser-less 360 is the only console out now that doesnt have this option.

The apple TV has very low penetration compared to the ps3, and for good reason. Its a movie player completely attached to iTunes, with photos and youtube added on. They would have to deal with the same problem as they would with the xbox too, making a whole new interface and so forth, which apple would then want to put there hands all over. Would it be pretty cool? sure, but if I were bbc I'd say it's not yet worth the hassle.

of course they have an agenda, though it isn't exactly hidden. If they just opened up the iPlayer to everyone around the world the political fallout in the UK would be monstrous, not to mention the public outcry. If they did open it up they would undoubtedly have to charge for it for non UK residents, making the whole process that little bit more complicated. Mind you I believe that is exactly what they will eventually do to top up their reduced budget

p.s. doctor who sucks! at least this season does (catherine tate? do me a favour).

Yeah man, i said the same thing when the first said that load of bullocks.

Yeah, the episode details on the rollovers prevent the hidden links from working. No amount of adding onClick handlers to the various divs that make up those boxes seemed to work, so I resorted to changing the focus to the hidden link as soon as you hover over the image. As you found, it works ok as long as you don't move around too fast with the D-Pad.

I'll see if I can improve it after I've got fullscreen working (hopefully this evening once I'm back from work.)
