BBC set to introduce iPlayer for Mac 'later this month'
Download Squad — ... In an interview with Om Malik, the BBC has revealed that an OS X version of its much-debated iPlayer TV catch-up service is due to debut later this month.

However, the broadcaster has been de-emphasizing this client in recent years and instead focused on its web-based iPlayer streaming platform, as well as device-specific solutions for the iPhone, the Nintendo Wii and set-top boxes. The approach seemed to pay off: The Beeb’s Richard Titus recently told Om over at GigaOM that some 300,000 people use the iPlayer every single day, and Rose revealed in a ...

With UK’s Project Kangaroo Stalled, Viewers Turn To Piracy [NewTeeVee]
GigaOM Network — ... The BBC’s iPlayer is a notable exception, but even the often-praised and hugely popular streaming platform has its downsides. It doesn’t offer any access to non-BBC content, and it only allows viewers to watch shows broadcast in the last seven days. This means you’re out of luck if you want to catch up on a show that you got hooked on halfway through its season. ...

Is BBC iPlayer a Typical App For Our Hyperconnected Future? [GigaOM]
GigaOM Network — ... This is some progress for the service. Back in November 2008, I met with one of the senior executives at the BBC who told me that “during the Olympics, the iPlayer accounted for nearly 20 percent of the total broadband traffic in the UK, and at present has garnered about 10 percent of the total UK broadband audience, (and) any given day about 300,000 people use the service to get their old TV fix.” ...
