[OT-ish]BBC Three to move online from February

This, of course, had been announced already, but 
I wonder what implications (if any) would that have to GiP 
BBC Three downloads; if online becomes the only way to 
watch, I suspect the CDN servers will be far more busy 
than now, possibly resulting in reduced download speeds.

>From the article it is not apparent to me whether a  
"Watch Live" BBC Three stream will still be present 
or "On-Demand" would become the exclusive avenue for 
watching  Three offerings...

If  BBC Three becomes "iPlayer only", then I would 
expect all its entries within the TV.cache to vanish 
by then, since those are based on the schedule feeds 
(currently) - PVR searches won't work, the "--pid" 
method would have to be used for fetching...
