Fancy a Media Center setup without the need for a Tuner Card? Well, if you’re happy with the online streamed content from the BBC iPlayer and others then this is for you.
[googlead]Recently updated to v2 the free Vista MCE interface for iPlayer now has support for the Windows 7 Beta as well as the ability to stream from the ITV Catchup and Channel 4 on demand services too.
“The BBC have been quite luke warm about supporting Windows Media Centre for some time now – they had some news video available in Windows Media Centre 2005 online showcase, but it was a bit hit and miss as to whether or not it worked. iPlayer on the other hand is a fantastic media delivery system, but has only really been written for desk top machines, not machines connected to your TV – which in my opinion has to be the obvious market. Imagine how annoyed I was when I read that Wii and PS3 users could get access to iPlayer too. That was just too much for me, so I decided to write a Vista MCE interface for iPlayer.”

Let me guess… UK only, right?
Just use a Proxy service if you want to get round that. Fantastic plugin though!
Works a treat! Nice find.
how on earth do you use the iplayer bit – I can use the live stations, but when I click on dates to go back a couple of days or somethign – it just says 0/0 programmes
