Hi Square Penguin, many thanks.  When I wrote my last message most of 
the messages in this thread had not reached my screen.  Now I am 
overwhelmed with options but no time to play.

Further to my concerns over encryption there may be a simpler 
motivation.  The loss of licence fees from all those using IT devices 
and time shifting techniques so as to avoid legally paying the fee.

Will have to dedicate time each evening to do the business with BBC 
website.  I abhor the iPlayer site and use the schedules to find what I 
want.  I hope a better solution can be found.
