Since Sony integrated full BBC iPlayer support into the PlayStation 3 as part of its v3.00 firmware update, the console has become the second most popular platform for iPlayer viewing.

The BBC has confirmed the PlayStation 3 is accounting for 10 per cent of viewing, overtaking Mac (with 8.5 per cent) to become the second most used platform after PC.GamesIndustry

The above is only an excerpt. You can find the full article here.

I must say that that is pretty impressive and unexpected to boot. :?

Would help to know what percentage of the UK population actually use the BBC iPlayer so that we can then figure out how many of those people are PS3 owners.

Already? Wow. I must say though, iPlayer on PS3 is one of the best things that has happened, and if we could get 4OD or Sky Player, it would just be awesome.

Thanks I just went on to the BBC iPlayer and I won't be able to use it cause I'm in Ireland and it's only available to the UK at the moment :(

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ its a streaming and download based catch up service for UK TV license owners. THe download part of the service allows HD versions of programs to be downloaded (720p) however the PS3 doesn't support this part yet.. Fingers crossed for this in november as part of the Uk based video store rollout.

The BBCi player is win, there should be one for ITV. Now I can watch such shows as Little Britain and Top Gear from the comfort of my room.
