BBC Broadcasting on the Internet now

[84Mark]

The BBC are providing a unicast/multicast stream for their BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and BBC News 24 channels.

BBC1: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/rams/uni/bbc1.ram

BBC2: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/rams/uni/bbc2.ram

BBC4: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/rams/uni/video16.ram

BBC News 24: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/rams/uni/news24.ram

Can anyone outside the UK confirm that these work for them...

Edit: BBC4 Broadcasts from 7 BST.

Edit2: Unfortunately the links don't work anymore, the BBC were performing tests. Hopefully in the near future they will start phasing this out fully.

Yer I am defo not installing that crap.

Real Networks have listened to the public. Real Player is an excellent player now, just try it! No adware/spyware, bloat, speed issues, anything!

[MasterSpy]

Interesting isn't it. They charge me a license fee to watch their biased rubbish on my TV - yet some guy from say America (or wherever) can watch the same stuff on the internet for free.

[84Mark]

If it means I can watch my Doctor Who then so be it... Real Player is back on my system!

[ZombieFly]

use media player classic (real alternative)

[Stonkwell Bogtrotter]

Working perfectly here in UK. Make sure you click the BBC1, BBC2 BBC News 24 links. BBC4 doesn't start until 19:00BST

Of course, that means you Americans can now watch Eastenders! :whistle:

[D,Ranged]

Thats cool thanks for the links.

[masterren]

MPC says "Cannot render file" for all of them (I have Real Alternative). I live in US East.

[Guest Dan C]

So we UK people pay for people outside the UK to watch it now, thats unfair.

[danananakroyd]

Very cool. I'd recommend Media Player Classic for this too.
