If anyone knows that they are still running, and how to locate them, let me know.  Since the live streams were switched to Adobe HDS a little while back, it's no surprise that the RTMP streams would be killed eventually.

The BBC have already declared they are moving to HDS for AOD in 2015.  If they are going to use the switch to bring in DRM (a la C4), then it's game over for get_iplayer (except for podcasts).  If anyone sees any news about their DRM plans, please post.
