4New BBC iPlayer debuts on PS3
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."

4Finally. We pay for the damn thing any way with our TV liscence. It should have been working like this from the start. I'll be interested to see how much memory it will take on my 40gb.
Its less than 4mb just tried it and its ten times better than before, finally ps3 iplayer more intergrated and better than Wii version lol
Just watching Top gear and in HD yay... now all we need is a browser update from Sony and Youtube in HD :-)
No need for a license when you have iplayer. Great tv and none of the fee.
Quite handy having the guide for the next few days readily available, but one niggle - I couldn't figure out how to quit! the XMB is disabled, and after scouring the menus for an exit button & mashing all the buttons on my pad I ended up having to turn the PS3 off.
I had no problem using the web version myself, fortunately that's still available.
