Speaking to TechRadar following the launch this morning of an overhauled version of its TV catch-up service, BBC general manager for programmes and on demand Daniel Danker confirmed that it is Microsoft's wish to restrict iPlayer to paying Xbox Live subscribers that was keeping the service off Xbox 360. "We want to be on as many devices as possible," he said. "Of course we'd love to be on the Xbox because we want to get iPlayer to as many licence payers as possible. We want to be on the cheapest level that you can have on Xbox, and not only for Gold subscribers."

The BBC has announced a revised version of its iPlayer TV catch-up service which will launch today for PlayStation 3. The update, which will be rolled out to over 300 other connected TV devices in the coming months, has been redesigned with the TV screen in mind, and offers a more personalised experience. Users can save favourite shows and view search history, with the service also making personalised recommendations. Daniel Danker, general manager of programmes and on demand, said: "With today's announcement, we're transforming iPlayer in its most natural home: right on the living room TV. By creating a product that's as simple and intuitive as flicking through TV channels, the BBC is bringing on-demand television to mainstream audiences across the UK."
